Reply to comment by biergarten in Springfield is the poorest city in Missouri by WaywardDeadite

The cost of living isn’t that much lower. Especially housing. I’ve been apartment hunting in Springfield and surrounding areas and the cost of housing is pretty much on par with what I can find in Kansas City Missouri metro areas.

Did you have your search engine set on a set price range? Because I'm sure stl and KC can get much pricier.

I know that STL and KC definitely can depending on the area, but comparatively speaking, I’ve been looking for 2 bedroom apartments with a garage and the lowest I can find in Springfield for that is around $900. KC is like $1,000-1,200 so pretty close in price.
