The United States is one of the countries with the best quality of life in the American continent and in the world. But the majority longs to live in the great metropolises of New York, Miami, Houston, Chicago and Los Angeles.
However, there is another face of the United States outside the cities. In the south and midwest of the country there are mostly rural states where the cost is reduced to more than half of what a person spends in California.
Of course, the lower cost of living is also related to fewer opportunities for professionalsfewer entertainment centers, higher concentration of poverty and more lagging services.
Mississippi is the state with cheapest cost of living in usa, but it also has a high poverty rate (11.8). Only about 20% of residents have a bachelor’s degree and the predominant activities are in the primary and secondary sectors.
The cost of services is up to 14% lower than the national average and the average price of a home is around $114,500, according to the report of 24/7 Wall Street. CNBC says the monthly energy cost is $143.
Mississippi eIt’s the state where the blues and Elvis Presley were born. Although you may not think of it as a place to live, you’ll be surprised that it has real gems like Gulf Islands National Seashore.
Kansas has one of lower housing costs and that puts it in the top two of the most affordable states. The 24/7 Wall Street report indicates that the median home is worth $145,400 and goods and services in the state cost 10% less than the national average.
