Here’s an interesting question: How much do you have to make an hour in order to afford a somewhat decent two-bedroom rental apartment in Massachusetts?
Answer: $22.97.
It’s not a bad way to look at a rental market. Massachusetts is the sixth most expensive state. Hawaii ranks first.
What’s the most expensive U.S. county to rent in? Nantucket, at $32.13 an hour. No wonder they can’t find summer help.
