I earn about $35k a year and need to know if I can afford a decent apartment.
What is the average rent in Yakima and how does it fit my salary?
1 Answer
The average monthly rent in Yakima is $1,127. With an annual salary of $34,628, the typical recommendation is to spend no more than 30% of gross income on rent, which would be about $867 per month. The current average rent exceeds this guideline, so you might need to look for shared housing, negotiate a lease, or consider moving slightly outside the city center where rents are lower.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Yakima.
