80.7% of the US population lives in urban or suburban areas. These areas have higher costs of living, but also higher salaries. Homes in many parts of the country can't be bought for less than $500k, and require over $1mil in some areas.
Median US home price is $288,100 as of July ( https://ycharts.com/indicators/sales_price_of_existing_homes ). Yet $1is still $1, relatively speaking.
