Paying $2,000 for rent gets you a smaller apartment in the Seattle area than almost anywhere else in the country, per a recent Redfin report.
By the numbers: In the Seattle metro area, tenants with a monthly rental budget of $2,000 could afford an estimated 732 square feet of living space as of last fall, Redfin found.
That's one of the smallest footprints among the 45 metro areas that Redfin analyzed, trailing only San Jose, San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego and Boston.
It's also 371 square feet smaller than the national estimate of 1,103 square feet.
What they did: Researchers analyzed apartments in buildings with five or more units that were listed on Redfin.com or Rent.com between last August and October.
Zoom out: Renters in the Memphis, Tennessee, and Birmingham, Alabama, metro areas could get more than 1,500 square feet by paying $2,000 per month, Redfin found.
That's more than double what Seattle-area tenants could rent for the same price.
