This Is How Much it Costs to Rent a One-Bedroom Apartment in 50 Major U.S. Cities
It won't come as a shock that the cost of rent can be steep in cities such as New York and San Francisco. After all, a monthly bill in the $2,000–$4,000 range isn't unusual in those locations. But have you ever considered how much it would cost to live in a one-bedroom apartment in Anchorage, Alaska?
Earlier this week, personal finance site GOBankingRates.com released a study on the median costs of rent for one-bedroom apartments in 50 major U.S. cities. It also includes data on factors such as the apartments' average square footage, monthly utility costs and walkability. Besides offering an interesting glimpse into how other renters live across the country, the info is helpful for those looking to make a move.
Read on to find out where your city — or, perhaps, the next city you'll call home — falls on the list of cheapest to most expensive rent. You might be surprised: The median rent for all 50 cities falls at $1,234.43 (though, as you'll see, costs vary greatly from city to city).

Also highest in 'homelessness'... democrat cities are sooo third world: uber wealthy elites, dirt poor vagrants, and almost no middle class. Usually high crime rates too...
I should raise the rent on my house in Chicago.
Another interesting statistic would be the percentage of household income paid for housing costs.
They boat of their 15 an hour push in the blue.
Heck given their taxes and no growth agendas $150 an hour is needed to live in the blue.

I grew up in New York city, I heard they have more homeless now in the streets than at any time in NYC history. Yet they reelect the commie Mayor who I read today wants to make drug dens for junkies if you can believe it.

When the housing bubble pops in San Francisco it is going to make a lot of liberal millionaires into thousandaires.

I recently did see this, perhaps linked from zillow, and was shocked/not shocked. California is the worst, but it’s the same typical blue urban areas/states, and the cause is usually high taxes.
When we moved to north florida several years ago, at about the pit of the housing collapse (especially bad in florida), no way we could have rented. It was only affordable to buy one of the sad foreclosures.
And those high taxes draw deadbeats from all over the country which increases the number of deadbeats sucking down the welfare. When they aren’t shooting each other.
I pay about $1150 a month for an oversized 1 bedroom apartment in the suburbs west of Denver.
We own a brand-new 3 bedroom/2 bath manufactured home in a Dallas suburb and total costs are $1,100 a month.
the homeless problem from a)social services attracting leeches from all over the country and b) little to no affordable housing even for those with jobs, in CA is horrendous.
Decatur, Alabama. $425/mo. 900sf apt.
Don’t forget the costs of Illegalism in those areas. Housing for 10-30 million people does not come out of thin air.
Got a spare COUCH?
I’m in San Diego...
2 bd.2bath manufactured
1300 a month Rent.
Not surprisingly, the cost of housing is 2-3 times as much in the socialist states like California and New York as it is in most of the rest of the country. Not only that but having lived in NYC in the past I can tell you an apartment there is not remotely comparable to one in Charlotte. Where I live now, there is a pool, clubhouse, weight room, carwash, fenced in dogpark and lots of open green space around the apt. In NYC all you got was space in some tower several stories up and that was it. And of course the cost in Charlotte is about half of the cost in NYC. San Francisco is 3X the cost and like NYC you would get no amenities with the apartment - yet another reason I will not consider moving to some of those places even though headhunters approach me about taking jobs there all the time.
If someone wants to be our attendant, probably so.
Such a statistic should state whether it is a before tax or after tax percentage.
Unbelievable
