Indy rent has been rising downtown too...fast growing downtown. Since this is from 2009, Indy's numbers will be higher and many other cities will be too, and some might be lower in reality. According to the list though, here's the largest cities and their ranks.
1. New York City | 14th | $1313
2. Los Angeles | 8th | $1361
3. Chicago | 50th | $1004
4. Houston | 82nd | $866
5. Philadelphia | 48th | $1005
6. Phoenix | 77th | $877
7. San Antonio | 110th | $792
8. San Diego | 7th | $1418
9. Dallas | 71st | $905
10. San Jose | 12th | $1338
I think it means that people want to be near a massive ocean..I'd say "large body of water" but there are cities such as Milwaukee and Chicago that are on large bodies of water that don't have as high a rent as the big coastal cities.

I have a suspicion there is something amiss with the methodology. As a San Diegan, I find it very hard to believe that San Diego has higher rental prices than New York, LA, and San Jose. Unless they're comparing the Bronx to La Jolla, lol.
The city of Indianapolis doesn't have a million people at all.
There are several metro areas approximately at or larger than the population of the Indy metro area that have average cheaper rents, including:
135 Columbus, OH $740
137 St. Louis, MO $737
139 Cincinnati, OH $733
146 Pittsburgh, PA $710
The metro area does and since everyone on this website likes to make the *metro area* argument then yes Indy has over a million people so don't bother arguing about it.
That's insane. Columbus has one of the strongest economies in the NE and midwest. The city has rents approaching $2,000/month for one bedrooms in newly built units. The average rent in the city is lower because it is a place with many apartments of varying rent amounts.

..and, just an hour west, the average 2 bedroom rental in Dayton, is $609/mo.

You were shown to be wrong on all accounts. You aren't great at structuring factually correct arguments about Indy. Just own it already.

The most affordable of major US cities with a population of a million or more.
Probably has gone up a little bit since the recession but there is a huge apartment boom both downtown and across the city so this should still be accurate.
That's less than half of what #1 San Francisco goes for.
The old saying the Dollar goes furthest in Indy couldn't be more true
Perhaps you should write what you *mean* instead of what you wish were true...
