      This is why I said no when my company wanted me to move to their hub office in Florida. Even my VHCoL state is cheaper now.

      this is why incomes matter as well. You might harp on about how much more “affordable” for example, Louisiana is to Massachusetts; sure, if you’re making Massachusetts money.

      I live in somewhat the middle of nowhere missouri and rent is like 1200 and job paid me 13.50 . Its horrible

    4. These maps are pretty useless at a state level. Averaging the rent between Utica and Brooklyn doesn’t yield useful data.

      What type of rent? Me and my wife have found rent on the space coast of Florida far less expensive than we have been paying in Charleston SC. 500$ less for an additional 500 sq ft sort of difference……

      Edit: as well as being closer to the beach, closer to bigger cities, significant less traffic.

      yeah, i’m guessing many of the redder states are low income, rather than high rent.

      Is that a % of households overall or is that a percentage of households that rent?

      Either way the US federal poverty rate significantly underestimates poverty.

    8. Damn I must be really doing bad. for my rent to be only 30% of my income would be life changing.

      I live in Florida and oh my goodness it has become very expensive to almost impossible to find affordable rent. Factor that in with the infrastructure that is well below other states and I would expect to see people moving to surrounding states.

      Only 27.5% for California seems too low. It’s normal for single people in the major metropolitan areas to put 50% of income to rent.

      I moved from FL to NYC and I have way more disposable income now and am able to actually save. Like yes, my rent was cheaper in FL but I make over double doing the same job in NYC.
