Stunning maps showing how much you need to earn in each state to afford a two-bedroom rental unit
The National Low Income Housing Coalition's annual housing report has been released and it once again shows the dramatic divide between average housing prices and income in the United States.

In order to afford a modest, two-bedroom apartment in the U.S., renters need to earn a wage of $19.35 per hour. In 13 states and the District of Columbia they need to earn more than $20 per hour. The Housing Wage for a two-bedroom unit is more than two and a half times the federal minimum wage of $7.25, and $4 more than the estimated average wage of $15.16 earned by renters nationwide.
Take a look at the NLIHC maps to see how your state stacks up:

DUmbasses, your nirvanas are the most expensive places to live. You don't think there's a reason for that?

     As did the a-holes who made it, since the color red is nowhere near it.

     But liberals will just say, 'Well, people want to live in liberal enclaves! It pushes the prices up!' To which I say: Chicago.

Rent control works.
So says the ministry of homelessness.
