For large, sprawling cities like Denver, Orlando, Nashville, Omaha, etc etc mean rent is almost useless. In Denver $1800 will get you a studio in desirable places to live, and will only get you a 2 BR out in deep suburbia or developments that come with 45 minute commutes. You're also going to have widely varying incomes between those two areas... i'd be willing to bet the after rent take home in the fringes of Denver sprawl is much worse than downtown due to ridiculous prices pushing low income workers farther and farther away from the city center while rent decreases at a much slower rate. Also did they get their salary data from BusinessStudent or from Indeed? And where did they get their real estate data from?
