Valentine's Day may be lonely for the singles out there, but here is an advantage: in some cities it could save you enough money to rent a studio yourself to find “one”.
A new report by Renthop evaluates the least affordable places for singles by comparing the middle list price of a studio apartment with the middle “non -family result” in the 50 most populous US cities. (The data was taken from the pension shop platform and the US Census Bureau. While many singles can afford a larger apartment, the costs for a studio were used as a benchmark.)
Singles who are looking for the most affordable city do not have to go any further than Wichita. Wichita Singles earn an average income of $ 39,336, which means that only 18 percent of their salary checks go for rent. Next was Columbus, Ohio, where the middle studio rental from 878 US dollars was around 21 percent of the medium single income, as well as in price.
Seattle, which was in fourth place, had a higher middle studio rent with 1,495 US dollars. But the singles deserve an average income of $ 85,653, the fifth highest among the residents of the 50 largest US cities. Therefore, the singles also pay about 21 percent of their income.
If you are single in a large metropolis, it will be more difficult to pay rent and enjoy nightlife. New York City was the most expensive subway for singles in the study, which is bad news for everyone who was one of the city's proven hot spots. Singles take a median of 3,375 US dollars to rent a studio in New York, or almost 68 percent of its middle income of $ 59,947.
