The best cities to live in are likely to be where you can find a job, earn a good annual income, and buy a nice home.
Glassdoor, one of the fastest growing jobs and recruiting sites, pinpointed the most affordable cities by comparing salaries to the cost of buying a home. The higher this ratio, the more affordable the city.
In Cleveland, for example, Glassdoor estimated the median base salary for a full-time ‘white collar’ job was $55,000 while the median home value was only $125,000. Using these figures, one year of base salary covers 44 percent of the cost of a typical home. After calculating this ratio for many cities across the United States, Glassdoor determined that Cleveland was the fourth most affordable city.
The 15 cities where pay goes the furthest are shown below, with Detroit being the most affordable.
