Youngstown one of top 10 cheapest places to live in U.S.
According to Yahoo Finance and the U.S. News & World Report, if you’re looking to live in an area where your paycheck goes a little further, Youngstown is one of the top ten places to live.
U.S. News & World Report ranks Youngstown as one of the top ten least expensive places to live, saying:
“Youngstown has a cost of living that’s only 20.29% of the median household income. Home costs, including utilities, food and medical costs are well below the national average and the median home price is only $129,969. Youngstown has its roots in the steel industry, but the region is seeing a growing number of businesses emerge in its downtown area.”
Other inexpensive places to live include Huntington, West Virginia; Ashland, Kentucky; Davenport-Bettendorf, Iowa; Moline-Rock Island, Illinois; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Hickory, North Carolina.
Green Bay, Wisconsin, took top place for U.S. News & World Report’s Best Places to Live in the U.S. in 2023-2024.
