Annualized, the average urban rent is $22,171, compared to $15,233 in the ‘burbs (a difference of $6,937).To the left is a chart showing rent + transportation (by mode) in urban vs suburban areas. Note that taxes are higher and goods cost more in the city as well.
I thought it was pretty obvious that the suburbs were cheaper, though. You may be thinking of the cliche suburban life with a single family home and two cars in the driveway, but apartments do exist in the suburbs, and they are cheap.
