You've already got the answer. Overall, living in Council Bluffs is cheaper -- mostly because utilities cost less. If you earned $25K in Omaha (and spent it all), and still earned $25K in Council Bluffs, you'd save about $1000 per year. Note that this doesn't count the gas you'd have to buy to go to your $25K job in Omaha, or the value of your time commuting!
