      Irvine is significantly cheaper than San Francisco lol. These numbers don’t make sense

      It says the data comes from the MIT living wage calculator, but that only provides a basic living wage. What multiplier are they using for “comfort”?

    6. ajeleonard on

      The gap between places like Pittsburgh and places like San Francisco seems suspiciously small

      Reddit is so wildly out of touch with the majority of this country. Y’all over here talking about if you make $300k you have to think about the financial burden of a second kid, or you can’t live anywhere near Boston on $140k. The median household income in the US is $80k. ~~with two earners.~~

      I’ve lived in 2 cities on this map before I made more than the lowest and this has to be propaganda. I promise you do not need to be making 90k minimum to live comfortably in the Midwest while saving even 25% of your salary. You can make half that and be totally fine.

      These numbers are crazy inflated for a single person, unless „live comfortably“ includes daily blow.

      I’m surprised San Francisco is only 15k more than Riverside. I think a lot of California is too low

      I feel like this map doesn’t have all the information….im biased but id love to see the rest of New England. This data has to be available right?

    17. waterfall_hyperbole on

      Boise is almost as expensive than chicago? Pittsburgh more expensive than philly? This data is wonky

    19. mixedmediamadness on

      Define comfortably. What makes NY more expensive than Hawaii? And everything I’ve read makes SF and LA sound way more expensive than NY. Anyone can throw numbers on a picture but how was anything here calculated

    22. James19991 on

      Lol I make 40K less than what this claims I need to make to live comfortably as a single adult, and I most definitely continue to have money to save leftover monthly after what I spend on needs and wants.

      Is Baltimore ever going to “relatively affordable east coast”-city itself into proper regeneration?

    26. miamijustblastedu on

      Miami at 108k?..only if your living downtown or on the beach..but it has gotten very expensive over the last decade..apt rents are 2k and up.

    28. Fluffy_Vermicelli850 on

      There is very very small percentage of people who have a salary in general. This is super dumb.

    31. citycylist117 on

      Nah I love very comfortable on $60k in upstate NY wtf you talking about.

    32. urnbabyurn on

      These scales are so arbitrary in defining “comfortably”. At the end of the day, all you are measuring is the local Cost of Living Index with an arbitrary threshold set for “comfortable.

    33. faramaobscena on

      Does “comfortably” mean having a villa and 5 SUVs while eating lobster all day?

    35. wingspantt on

      For it to rank affordability shouldn’t this be parallel to data about earnings in each area?

      Like two cities that require $90k, if one has much fewer people than the other who actually make $90k, then it’s less affordable.

    37. Soft-Sail5993 on

      $137k is definitely liveable in San Diego, but I wouldn’t say comfortably. At $137k, you’re able to afford a one bedroom apartment at average rent, but you’re not saving too much at the end of the day after that. I would put it closer to what San Jose is at— $160k.

    39. Badmoterfinger on

      Anyone that thinks you can survive on the Bay Area Salaries listed here is insane.

    40. TrumpChildOnahole on

      I’m guessing this is to rent an apt, you’d need about 40k more in Orlando to afford a house comfortably unless you wanna live in pine hills

    41. oldfarmjoy on

      Very poorly done map/analysis. It looks like they randomly picked locations and then ranked them. No consistency in size. No allowance for „suburbs“. Etc. Thanks I hate it.

    42. spacenavy90 on

      Highly exaggerated and misleading map. I live in a big city not on this list making less than the lowest and live perfectly comfortably. Even to afford a house,

    43. jewelophile on

      Huh, apparently I’m uncomfortable in the whole United States. That’s weird. I feel pretty comfortable.

    44. GuLare on

      I’m convinced these graphs are psyops. You do not need anywhere close to $160k to live „comfortably“ in New York City. Maybe if you want to have a one bedroom for yourself in Manhattan while eating out every day, but not to be comfortable and live a normal life in New York.
