Nah, you can get 1BR for under $1000 in many cities. Load up these parameters in Zillow for Midwest cities like St Louis or Cleveland and you'll be flooded with options.

Average rent in Cleveland and St. Louis is over $1550. They have seen 14% year over year increases. I’m sure there are select properties that rent less than a grand. But prices are skyrocketing everywhere.

Average rent would include all housing stock.

Again, I invite you to load up Zillow and take a look for yourself. I put those parameters in for DC and I got two (2) options: one in Columbia Heights that already has a couple dozen applications and one in Barry Farms. For St Louis, I got 276 results. DC sounds "hard-pressed" to me, St Louis doesn't.
