Well, after looking at the census data, it proved what I already knew: I live in the best place possible in Louisiana (St. Tammany Parish).
I'm not really sure what an apartment rents for around here; mostly everyone owns their home.
A starter home runs about 120K or so. FI and I just bought a condo for 118,500. It's tiny (2 br), but in a really nice (read: gated, golf club) neighborhood. The units rent for 1200-1500 a month in our group.
Median income (according to the census data) was around 43,000; the highest in Louisiana. It's like being the smartest kid on the short bus. Yeah, we're better than the rest, but what do we have to compare to?
