Bottom headline: Des Moines Register, 10/30/2022
For a one-bedroom apartment, the average rent in the state rose from $807 in 2020 to $905 in 2021.
Hauge said the increase might not seem like a lot, but for someone on a fixed income, it is. He also noted an apartment at that price is too costly for some who makes $14 dollars an hour or less.
A 12% increase in one year? That's a lot in just about everyone's budget.
Not surprisingly, the word 'housing' is used 20 times in the Register article.
