Didn’t realize the cost of living was so cheap in PA. I wonder what the catch is. Texas will nickel and dime the hell out of you.

 

[kicks2024]

Reporting from MT, idk if $75k is even enough anymore

 

[Extrait de Minimalisme]

Kinda surprised my home state (Michigan) is one of the cheapest.. but last time I checked my childhood home sold for like $45k.. 3br/1ba full basement.

that’s an outhouse in a lot of places.

Define an avg priced home. And the cities vary greatly.

 

[Mark Antony]

NY, VA, MD are hella skewed by the outer areas. Just assume they're all DC rate.

 

[eracism]

If remote working were a permanent thing, would y'all consider copping a double wide in Kentucky and living the mediocre life? Save up and retire in the Caymans.

Outside of Philly, PA is essentially a Southern type state.

Why is Colorado so expensive?

Definitely would if I wasn't single, that's a BYOB situation. Know folks from the midwest who moved back because of that.

Suburbs in NY are Hella expensive. I'm speaking from experience. If by outer areas you mean the city.

No amount of savings can make me live in Kentucky. There's gotta be a better way.

 

[Grine]

That GA price looks off but I’m viewing it as a residence of the metro area.

All the sources are linked on the map.

Of course cities vary. That's why it's 'average' within the state. The cities are worked into those averages.

Salt Lake City, UT checking in. We are basically what Denver was 5-10 years ago. It is getting ridiculous.

[mrtarheel]

Are they talking about Frostburg MD? Or places far off the belway
Because down in PG county it has to be higher.

 

[tr1ll]

You gotta consider small towns are being worked into these averages, bringing some averages for the state to be lower than the larger cities.
