4. California  

Median Rent: $2,800

California is one of the 15 states with the highest rent in the US. Housing affordability is a major problem in the state since Californian cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose have some of the highest rents in the US. The state has a median rent of $2,800, as of November. The demand for houses exceeding the supply is also a problem in California.
