A Place to Live for Under $1,000

A study found 20 cities where you can rent an apartment for under $1,000. The average Social Security check covers rent in these cities:

  • Akron, Ohio
  • Dayton, Ohio
  • Yuma, Arizona
  • Jackson, Mississippi
  • Kansas City, Kansas
  • Birmingham, Alabama
  • Evansville, Indiana

Of course, if Social Security is your only source of income in retirement, you don’t want to spend it all on rent. Instead, you might need to downsize or pick an apartment with fewer frills.
