It's a sad day today,y'all. Looks like I'll have to move.
The average rent in Chicago is $2,163.
Chicago scores 82.23 out of 100 in July 2020, meaning that the cost of living in Chicago is about 20% less than in New York City (the index’s benchmark). When you add rent to the calculation, the city’s score declines to 69.00. While Chi-Town is 23% more expensive than the rest of the country, considering the city’s perks, living in Chicago can give you a lot for your money.
Why should I care about Chicago rent being less in New York and San Francisco?
800 is the rate in my area. My mom said it was illegal to jump my rent so high from my current amount which was a favore from the previous management because I rented under them before. My rent was going to be raised 25 more dollars a week before that management lost the building.
As of June 2019, Chicago ranks 11th in terms of average rental prices in large American cities. This means Chicagoans pay relatively low rents for a major city (especially compared to San Francisco, where the average rent is a staggering $3,700)
Listen to the contradiction: What is the Chicago cost of living? Compared to the national average, the Chicago cost of living is higher. In fact, the city is ranked as the 11th most expensive city in the nation, putting Chicago on par with cities like Seattle, Boston, and San Diego.
