100 Of The Cheapest Places to Live in The United States

[@WorldAccordingToBriggs]

What do you consider a cheap place to live?

[@spilltheteaalloverme8810]

Colusa county Cal is way more affordable to live than Mendocino ca where I just moved from,rent ,food,gas- people drive slower too which I like- the foods grown here too so the farmers market is bomb

[@choicemakings]

Taxes, housing, and cost of living are just as important as medical assistance w/it's costs. Retirement isn't about throwing away our money.

I am a native mid-Westerner from eastern Kansas, but I now live in Huntsville, Alabama. I can't see myself living anywhere else in Alabama, but Huntsville is a very nice place to live. Though my last name is Hunt, I am not related to the family that founded Huntsville, Alabama.

If you don't mind debris of downed trees and a messy beach. Pont Clear, Al. is affordable! coastal towns of Alabama are not as 3rd world feeling as well! Thx Dad!

[@JBoy340a]

I am more interested in the most desirable places to live. Perhaps divided by home cost so people could match home prices with budgets. Ex. < 100K, 100-400K, 400K-800K, ..., >2M

Briggs, you are gonna get a tickle from this. I live only about 9 miles from Secret Cove in JAX, FL and I had never heard of it. Better yet, I drive right past it on my way to Tinseltown theater. I actually drive THROUGH it when I take the Gate parkway🤣😂😁I

As someone who frequents Fresno... It has it's bad areas but Modesto is worse. It's smaller and theres less to do . There's things to do in Fresno, and high end neighborhoods.

[@YoungGandalf2325]

Thank you. These videos about inexpensive, fictional places in America are always fun to fantasize about. Maybe in an alternate universe, I could live in one of these places.

[@akgobears]

Having visited Idaho many many times over the yrs to visit my father i have found that there isnt much of Southern Idaho that floats my boat at all....Dont like the Boise area at all as its just another metro area i have had my fill of living in one....The rest of the southern part of the state is not much more than high desert community...BUT !!! Get halfway up the state and beyond , I LOVE IT !!! In fact its my favorite state to visit at that point...Big fan of Salmon Idaho...Its affordable, has everything you need, and far from anything heavily populated....

[@tustazowiowao]

You did great job about South Dakota Sturgis Huron Yankton Brookings Mitchell Belle Fourche Aberdeen Madison Cost living and crime rates are ok. If you have a job, you will love it .Good place if you have family to raise and retire. If you are single, it seems boring, especially the wintertime. Please don't compare to any big cities when you are planning to relocate there. They are small, quiet communities . If you want big cities, Sioux Falls and Rapid City will be best for you at SD. I moved here until now I like it.

Can you do the best popular big cities to move to

[@christineesser8826]

[@FranklyItsMe]

I’m not sure if you’ve gotten the latest message. But I’m finding my old favorite channel here seems to have a deep red underbelly. At least that’s what his fans will have you believe. Unfortunately they don’t realize that the poorer the state, the redder they are. Or the redder they are, the poorer the state. Hence: Alabama Arkansas Mississippi Tennessee West Virginia Alaska Kentucky If you’re looking for affordable and blue look for smaller towns outside of bigger cities within a blue state. The bigger cities in blue that have the education systems to support a financial infrastructure because those markets can then afford to pay their employees. Simply - look for states with highest rankings for education (they’ll be in blue states) and find smaller towns around their safer cities. Good luck! I think im going back to Pittsburgh. ✌🏻🖤💛🖤💛🖤❤️💙💛

[@ZBatt1]

@@FranklyItsMeLoser! enjoy your kids struggling with their identity and high taxation with lots of crime. Unfortunately blue or red both have their faults, but i would rather not live somewhere my kid gets fed information about changing their sex at such a young age. Also, Florida, Georgia, Texas were all red (and still are) before the libs filled it up.

[@ellimanhiem3335]

[@pandakeeper]

Great content as always. However, some of these vids are older, so some of the housing has really gone up.

Oh that will be Hilo. You must like the rain a lot and the crime which is a little higher hence why it’s cheaper and the possible volcanic activity that can wipe your house out there. That’s why it’s cheap.

He lived on Kaua’i The big island is much more affordable than Oahu or Maui My sister-in-law lived on Maui (Kihei) for nine years, and finally moved back to the mainland (Scottsdale) because of the cost-of-living. Scottsdale? Because it’s cheaper than Maui? 🤷🏼‍♂️

But if its more one than another, I would prefer more red than blue, STILL a video for comparison and for learning purposes would be awesome. I am looking for a place to rent for a year for my daughter and I, while we look for a place to buy. In addition to the median income (too low it's difficult to run a business, too high, I just can't afford, once I can afford 1.5mil we are going home to Oahu) we look at internet service, demographics, climate and elevation. These videos are great to guide us in different directions and spark ideas.

[@cocktailhotel]

So in other words, to cut two hours down to two minutes, this is coverage of all the podunk towns across the country that are cheap to live in, and at the same time, you probably don't want to live there, you know, if you want to experience life as opposed to just existence. And after awhile, as it won't take long, everyone will know your business.

[@happysheepies7321]

Exactly. They are cheap because most people don’t want to live in them.

[@michaeltrace1109]

The problem with these videos is that they were uploaded 5 plus years ago for the most part. The real estate prices are going to be way off by now compared to what they are in the videos because of the amount of inflation over that period of time.

[@judieloux3610]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@jhileman]

But say everything roughly doubled in price. 100K home is now 200K, 300K home now 600K, etc. These places should still be cheaper. Trying to say take some place expensive, a home is now 600K, say one of these cheap places a home is 200K for example. Sure they used to have 100K homes but 200K is still very cheap comparatively speaking.
