Comoros is a small island country that ships in most of what it needs, and that shipping cost sits quietly inside everyday prices, nudging them up for a place this remote. Money sent home from relatives working abroad keeps many households going. There isn't much daylight between how the comfortable and the getting-by live here — life looks much the same from one household to the next, modest for most.
