I wish there was a breakdown of how the cost of living for a single person is $1,111/month before rent. My experience is $2800.00. I don’t eat take out and spend next to nothing on alcohol entertainment and clothing.

can we talk about how buffalo has the 7th most expensive apples in the world!? how is that possible! i do agree with the average prices. marbs are up to $12 now. Sure you can find cheaper housing but like the one commenter said ya take your chances. but you Don't move to the buffalo inner city from across the world. so I'd say everything is accurate. Them apples tho!
