Midwest hot for affordable homes and higher salaries; is Wichita?
The Midwest is a pretty good place “for young adults to get rich,” according to a report from Money Under 30, a company that develops financial advice-related articles and makes money from affiliate partnerships.
Money Under 30 ranked the top 10 cities in the U.S. that have affordable housing with above-average salaries for young professionals.
Six Midwest cities made the cut, but Wichita was nowhere to be seen.
The rank factored median income with a bachelor’s degree or higher, the percentage of young people making more than $35,000 per year, the median rent and the unemployment rate for people with a bachelor’s or higher.
Here’s the list:
1. South Bend, Ind.
2. Springfield, Ill.
3. Shreveport, La.
4. Des Moines, Iowa
5. Cedar Rapids, Iowa
6. Harrisburg, Pa.
7. Ogden-Layton, Utah
8. Cincinnati, Ohio/Covington, Ky. area
9. Lancaster, Pa.
10. Kansas City, Mo.
