Keep in mind people get payed more in regions where COL is higher, so it's hard to rate

yes and no

for many places, there is a pretty obvious disparity between housing affordability even when you take into account average salary in hot housing markets like SF, NYC, Seattle, etc

imo this has to do with housing construction essentially, places like SLC and Durham are easier to build in than the Bay Area or Manhattan or even Austin so they're seeing an increase in employment and housing, not just employment

this is states, not cities, but see: https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2016/demo/p60-258.pdf

california and NY (plus other high-cost places like CT) look worse with respect to poverty when you take into account the cost of living
