2. Cleveland
- Average 1-bedroom rent (2022): $817
- Cost of living index: 72.6 (Florida has a cost-of-living index of 100.3)
- Livability score: 60
Despite having the highest average rent on the list, Cleveland’s livability score is mired in a tie for the third-worst position of the bunch. It is, in fact, the only city on this list where the average price for a one-bedroom apartment is above $800.
However, the good part is that Cleveland has a low cost of living, which qualifies it as one of the cheapest cities on the list. This means that here you can certainly live on just your monthly Social Security checks.
Well, as I see it, retirement and cold, lousy weather usually don’t go well together. However, if you don’t have a choice…then we might have made better retirement plans before we had no choice.
Where does Puerto Rico rank over all, for Americans, living on just Social Security income ?
To bad cold winters for retierment
You do not mention anything about utilities. North Dakota gets very cold in the winter. What are the cost of utilities in this town during winter. Can a person on SSI still be able to live afford to there?
OK, but who wants to live in Kansas or North Dakota?? Fishing and canoeing in Williston, ND? What, for maybe 4 months of the year?
