Guess Which North Dakota City Has The Cheapest Rent In The USA?

The cost of rent has risen by more than 50% over the last 10 years.

Yikes, I know when I was shelling out money for rent, it always felt like I was just throwing away money. Of course, in a way you are, but oftentimes it's unavoidable depending on where you are at in your life.

Not many college kids or even young couples just starting out can afford to buy a home these days. Especially in this current housing climate.

I ran across an article recently from our friends at WalletHub breaking down the cheapest cities in America for rent.

As I mentioned above, with rent skyrocketing over the last decade, it's pretty safe to say the wages at your job have not kept up near that pace. This makes finding affordable housing a very difficult task for most Americans.

Two cities in North Dakota are breaking that mold.

That's right, North Dakota has two cities in the top 5 cheapest rent in the United States of America. One of those cities, you could very well be living in. More on that in a moment.

First, let me tell you how WalletHub came up with its data for this study. They analyzed the median annual gross rent in more than 180 cities across America, then compared it to the total median household income. That's simple, and two North Dakota cities really stood out.

Fargo came in at #5 in this study.

North Dakota's largest city is really growing, and finding housing can be challenging to keep up with the growing population.

One North Dakota city has the dubious honor of having the cheapest rent in ALL of America!

Yep, it's the Capital city of Bismarck, #1 with a bullet!

There are so many wonderful reasons to be happy about living in Bismarck-Mandan, and now you add the cheapest rent in the country to the list.
