https://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/19061 I looked up my area and it seems like the cost are low. I calculated they assumed for housing you would only pay 8k a year in iowa for housing in my county. I looked up apartments for rent and the lowest i could find was 715 a month which came out to be a little above 8580 a year. Otherwise everything else seems up to par.
