Finding apartments under $1,000 can be difficult — unless you live in Little Rock, says Zillow

(NEXSTAR) – While the price of owning a home continues to soar across the country, many are looking to rent in hopes of just finding an affordable place to have a roof over their heads.

The problem is, rental prices for apartments are rising as well, particularly in larger markets.

A new report from Zillow has found that it has become extremely difficult to find apartments that cost less than $1,000 per month in the 100 largest cities in the U.S.

In fact, among these 100 cities, only 13 have more than a third of their available apartments listed as under $1,000 per month, according to Zillow.

For the most part, living in the Midwest or the South offers the best chance at finding an affordable apartment in a major city.

According to Zillow, Wichita, Kansas, has the highest number of apartments costing less than $1,000 per month, with slightly more than 54% of apartments.

Not far behind is McAllen, Texas, at 50.6%, which is the only other city to have more than half of their apartments under $1,000.

Other cities with the largest percentage of apartments available at under $1,000 per month include Little Rock, Arkansas, Toledo, Ohio, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Here’s the full list of the 20 cities with the highest percentage of apartments priced at less than $1,000 per month, according to Zillow.

On the other end of the spectrum, cities that ranked lower on the list (with fewer apartments under $1,000 per month) seemed to be located on the coasts of the U.S., according to Zillow’s analysis.

Boston, Massachusetts, sits at the bottom with only 1.2% of apartments in the city listed at under $1,000 per month.

Other cities with less than 2% of apartments under $1,000 per month include: Washington, D.C.; Charleston, South Carolina; Cape Coral, North Port, and Miami in Florida; and finally San Diego and San Jose in California.
