Renting for Less Space Across the U.S. | Seattle News

Rent is crushing paychecks across the U.S., forcing renters to stretch every dollar—new data reveals that for $1,500 a month, you’re getting less space than last year nationwide. But there’s hope: in 65% of the country’s biggest cities, especially in the South and Midwest, you can get way more square footage—McAllen, Texas, tops the list with 1,378 sq ft. Meanwhile, cities like Manhattan offer just 210 sq ft, and in Western Washington, Seattle and Bellevue barely crack 500 sq ft. Head east to Spokane or Yakima, though, and you’ll find over 900 and 1,000 sq ft respectively—proof that location really matters when hunting for affordable space.
