The Best Cities in the US for Renters<\/strong> New research conducted by Living Cozy looked at the average rent for a two-bedroom property the average wage, the cost of living rating, the amount of green space and parks and rent control legislation. The study combined it into a single score that gave each factor an equal weighting and determined the best cities for renters in the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The best US cities for renters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Washington DC is the best city in the country for renters.<\/strong>It\u2019s a very green place to live, with 21% of the city\u2019s land area dedicated to parks and green spaces and as many as 98% of the city\u2019s population live within a ten-minute walk of a park.\u00a0It also boasts a high number of jobs for its size, with 58.57 job postings per 1,000 people. Renters are protected from sudden price hikes by rent control laws; however, living costs are higher than average and the rent for a two-bedroom property averages at $3,658 per month, which is out of many people\u2019s price range.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The US cities where rent is lowest:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The city with the lowest average monthly rent in the study is Tulsa<\/strong> where a two-bedroom property will set you back approximately $895. This is the only city where the average rent is below $1,000, highlighting just how much of a bargain it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Cities in the US With the Most Job Postings Per Capita<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nRank<\/strong><\/td> City<\/strong><\/td> State<\/strong><\/td> Jobs per 1000 people<\/strong><\/td> Average Monthly 2-BR Rent<\/strong><\/td> City Land as Green Space %<\/strong><\/td> % Residents Living 10 Mins Walk From A Park<\/strong><\/td> Average Monthly Salary After Taxes<\/strong><\/td> Cost of Living Index Score<\/strong><\/td> Rent Control<\/strong><\/td> Renting Score<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 1<\/strong><\/td> Washington<\/td> DC<\/td> 58.57<\/td> $3,658<\/td> 21<\/td> 98<\/td> $5,776.94<\/td> 85.23<\/td> YES<\/td> 7.02<\/td><\/tr> 2<\/strong><\/td> San Francisco<\/td> CA<\/td> 40.75<\/td> $5,209<\/td> 21<\/td> 100<\/td> $8,073.06<\/td> 94.32<\/td> YES<\/td> 6.64<\/td><\/tr> 3<\/strong><\/td> Minneapolis<\/td> MN<\/td> 53.46<\/td> $2,091<\/td> 10<\/td> 98<\/td> $4,566.79<\/td> 79.57<\/td> YES<\/td> 6.61<\/td><\/tr> 4<\/strong><\/td> San Diego<\/td> CA<\/td> 27.21<\/td> $3,204<\/td> 21<\/td> 81<\/td> $5,489.17<\/td> 76.72<\/td> YES<\/td> 6.59<\/td><\/tr> 5<\/strong><\/td> San Jose<\/td> CA<\/td> 21.10<\/td> $3,567<\/td> 15<\/td> 80<\/td> $7,257.94<\/td> 74.23<\/td> YES<\/td> 6.49<\/td><\/tr> 6<\/strong><\/td> Portland<\/td> OR<\/td> 40.69<\/td> $2,369<\/td> 14<\/td> 90<\/td> $4,159.18<\/td> 77.67<\/td> YES<\/td> 6.42<\/td><\/tr> 7<\/strong><\/td> Sacramento<\/td> CA<\/td> 38.39<\/td> $2,102<\/td> 10<\/td> 83<\/td> $3,915.25<\/td> 78.48<\/td> YES<\/td> 6.01<\/td><\/tr> 8<\/strong><\/td> Albuquerque<\/td> NM<\/td> 31.76<\/td> $1,053<\/td> 17<\/td> 90<\/td> $3,602.19<\/td> 63.88<\/td> NO<\/td> 5.86<\/td><\/tr> 9<\/strong><\/td> Las Vegas<\/td> NV<\/td> 54.32<\/td> $1,373<\/td> 18<\/td> 75<\/td> $4,014.73<\/td> 69.01<\/td> NO<\/td> 5.76<\/td><\/tr> 10<\/strong><\/td> Long Beach<\/td> CA<\/td> 16.48<\/td> $2,713<\/td> 8<\/td> 84<\/td> $4,170.63<\/td> 70.35<\/td> YES<\/td> 5.75<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Rank<\/strong><\/td> City<\/strong><\/td> State<\/strong><\/td> Average Monthly 2-BR Rent<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 1<\/strong><\/td> Tulsa<\/td> OK<\/td> $895<\/td><\/tr> 2<\/strong><\/td> El Paso<\/td> TX<\/td> $1,020<\/td><\/tr> 3<\/strong><\/td> Tucson<\/td> AZ<\/td> $1,032<\/td><\/tr> 4<\/strong><\/td> Memphis<\/td> TN<\/td> $1,042<\/td><\/tr> 5<\/strong><\/td> Oklahoma City<\/td> OK<\/td> $1,044<\/td><\/tr> 6<\/strong><\/td> Albuquerque<\/td> NM<\/td> $1,053<\/td><\/tr> 7<\/strong><\/td> Omaha<\/td> NE<\/td> $1,166<\/td><\/tr> 8<\/strong><\/td> Louisville<\/td> KY<\/td> $1,197<\/td><\/tr> 9<\/strong><\/td> Fresno<\/td> CA<\/td> $1,217<\/td><\/tr> 10<\/strong><\/td> Raleigh<\/td> NC<\/td> $1,298<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Rank<\/td> City<\/td> State<\/td> Population<\/td> # of Jobs<\/td> # of Jobs Per 1,000 People<\/td><\/tr> 1<\/td> Atlanta<\/td> GA<\/td> 506,811<\/td> 56,714<\/td> 111.90<\/td><\/tr> 2<\/td> Tampa<\/td> FL<\/td> 399,700<\/td> 36,511<\/td> 91.35<\/td><\/tr> 3<\/td> Miami<\/td> FL<\/td> 467,963<\/td> 38,075<\/td> 81.36<\/td><\/tr> 4<\/td> Boston<\/td> MA<\/td> 692,600<\/td> 41,419<\/td> 59.80<\/td><\/tr> 5<\/td> Washington\u00a0<\/td> DC<\/td> 705,749<\/td> 41,335<\/td> 58.57<\/td><\/tr> 6<\/td> Seattle<\/td> WA<\/td> 753,675<\/td> 43,278<\/td> 57.42<\/td><\/tr> 7<\/td> Las Vegas<\/td> NV<\/td> 651,319<\/td> 35,379<\/td> 54.32<\/td><\/tr> 8<\/td> Austin<\/td> TX<\/td> 978,908<\/td> 53,152<\/td> 54.30<\/td><\/tr> 9<\/td> Minneapolis<\/td> MN<\/td> 429,606<\/td> 22,968<\/td> 53.46<\/td><\/tr> 10<\/td> Charlotte<\/td> NC<\/td> 885,708<\/td> 43,643<\/td> 49.27<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
