Hourly Wage Needed to Rent a 2-Bedroom Apartment in Every U.S. State

If you lived in the Bay Area especially the city like me you know damn well in the last 10 years nothing about living here is that simple. You could work 2 full time jobs and live off Ramen and still barely make a 2 bedroom rent currently. I miss paying $600 for a studio on Valencia back in the early 2000's. The flat I grew up in as a child going for close to $5,000 my family was paying $900 back in the days. Times have changed. :smh:

Exactly. You could live comfortably in the Bay Area back then and still reap all of it's benefits now it's almost depressing how things have changed and not just economically it also changed the culture and soul of the place. Still love it but a lot of what made it great is getting sucked out of it. New and shiny ain't always the best look. :smh:

Word. I know one bedroom apartments are 650-1200 depending on where you are (I'm using the Tampa Bay area as reference). While two bedrooms are 900-1400. But for the price of a two bedroom apartment you can get a 3 bedroom house for rent.

Jersey real estate tax is the highest in the country so I'm sure that and being close to NYC has something to do w/ it.....and having a republican governor who's a snake.

I'm certain that Philly increases that avg for PA. Cost of living over there is a littel crazy compared to the other Turnpike cities (Harrisburg and Pittsburgh) Pittsburgh's rent are getting higher but home prices aren't that crazy if you're willing to look and move further from the city.

N.C. and P.R. lookin real ideal to me right now. I could live in San Juan bruh, the vibe over there is just mad relaxed. I'm sure that's the tourist in me talking though.
 
I've been thinking about moving from BR to NOLA lately and rent is usually $800ish for a 500sqft studio in the 504 apparently..
