RENTcafé: 83% of renters can’t afford to live where they want 

A RENTcafé survey of more than 2,000 renters found that less than 17% of them lived close to their desired location, meaning that 83% of renters have to go the extra mile(s) to get where they’re going. According to RENTcafé, apartments in desirable areas (aka job centers) cost $1,655 per month, a 37% increase over the national average rent of $1,211 in regular or low-rated locations.
