One of the most affordable cities in Kansas could be closer than you think. It’s really close if you live in Pittsburg — because we’re talking about Pittsburg. We are — in general, major urban areas in the state like Manhattan and Wichita have a lower cost of living — 10-percent below the national average. Pittsburg takes it a step further. It sits at 18-percent below the national average. And this has been a motivating factor for some people to move to the area. “You go to the movies it’s like 12 to 13 dollars a person, you go out here it’s less than five dollars a person,” said Stephanie Watts, Pittsburg Resident. When compared to 258 urban areas across the country, Pittsburg has the lowest cost of living in Kansas according to the Center for Economic Development and Business Research.
