Dayton, Ohio
- Average monthly rent in 2019: $760
Here are two big financial reasons why Dayton should be on your radar. First, you’ll have an average of $589 left over from your Social Security after you pay rent. Secondly, the cost of living here is lower than the national average. After taking all of this into account, you’ll have enough money to spend elsewhere.
You can take advantage of a number of parks, golf courses, and nature reserves if you enjoy spending time outside. However, on days where you want to enjoy urban sights, you can easily rely on Dayton’s bike-share program.
You can cut costs even further by giving up on one of your cars, but you won’t have to worry about traveling around the city thanks to this program. All in all, Dayton is a great place for those on a tight budget.
