Top Ten Most Affordable US Cities By Trevor Walker

      Perhaps surprising to some, the state of New York is home not only the nation's most overpriced city (New York City ties with Honolulu for the dubious honor), but also its most affordable: Buffalo. With a median family income of $63,500 and a median home sales price of $100,000, home ownership is attainable for 88.5% of the local population. Coupled with daily expenses that are about 4% below the national median, Buffalo claims the No. 1 spot on the list.

Seven Southern cities are on the list, too. But the Midwest dominates when it comes to affordability.

Three hotbeds of affordability are situated in the Northeast. Surprisingly, none of America’s Most Affordable Cities are in the nation’s West.

1. Buffalo, NY

2. Memphis, Tenn

3. Cincinnati, Ohio

4. Dayton, Ohio

5. Knoxville, Tenn

6. Akron, Ohio

7. Grand Rapids, Mich

8. Louisville, Ky

9. Oklahoma City, Okla

10. Warren, Mich
