5 States With the Highest Rent in the US

3. Hawaii

Median Rent: $2,900

Hawaii has a high cost of living especially in terms of housing. The rents across Hawaii have soared which is evident from the state’s median rent of $2,900, as of November. Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, ranks as an expensive place to rent. The availability of land suitable for housing is less in the state while the demand is high thereby driving the rents up.
