You have to get into manufacturing or the plants to make any real money. I learned the hard way.
Now I work out there and my salary and bonus could be up to 200K a year. Where else you going to find that? No where.

Still doesn’t address housing, which is a known issue out there. Median house listing price in Austin proper is $600k, property tax is about 2.24% Median house listing price in BR is $260K, property tax is about 0.536%. Median house listing cost in NO is comparable to BR, as is property tax. So if you are buying, you are paying roughly twice as much for a house as principal and your taxes will be roughly five times higher. And housing costs tend to be a lot higher than most other “cost of living” inputs.
Where are you getting your numbers?
C2ER, which publishes the most comprehensive COL data, updated quarterly has way different numbers. They use metro area for housing which is much more useful.
Also lmao at buying a ~260k home in orleans parish. Go ahead and overlay the current redfin listings for 260k with a crime map. Enjoy hollygrove and central city.

The type of place and price level I rent in NOLA does not exist in the Texas cities. Restaurants and bars are cheaper for the most part. Ubers won't cost as much. Everything else is more expensive though.
i don't know what you are renting or where you are eating but I rented two bedroom place in Montrose for $1800 that was walkable to plenty of bars and HEB. According to HAR, it is still in that same price ballpark years later.
you can find decent priced rentals in Houston if you poke around. Even in hot neighborhoods

It costs $13/year to live in Louisiana, you're killing it! Don't be a dummy, take the money!

I like getting California pay while living in the boot. My dollar goes way farther.

I should also say the plants pay great but Johnny Drama from the HS cocomo class that's now a crack hand could blow the place up and kill you...
So you take risks for the pay.

Google search for “average price of a house in X”, which is in turn based off the listing prices in each market.
I’m not taking quality of the neighborhood into account because me trying to pull Lakeshore in NO, Bocage or CCLA in BR, and some random neighborhood in Austin isn’t necessarily a good comparison because every market is local. This is just to establish a ballpark for each with regards to property tax and likely loan size.

The cost of living is 34.44% higher in Seattle, WA.
This is a massive indictment of nola.
This thread is an incredible example of perception vs reality. I bet if you hadn't said Seattle was 34% higher than nola the average poster would guess Seattle was 100-200% higher.

Lot of absolutely shite houses in BR in areas that no person would live in dragging that number down. And a lot more mega properties in Austin pulling that number up
You can certainly find better value in housing, but not the gap you are framing there.

Crime is everywhere. I would find some low-priced houses in say midcity or uptown. Outside investment company comes in and offers more than what the owner is asking, cash.
One of them was 106k. was this guy's mother's house he never finished fixing up after Katrina. It needed work, prob about 60k. But now someone will just air bnb it out.

i am not surprised. New Orleans shares a lot of issues that San Francisco has with Housing but without the good weather and good jobs.
Limited areas on where they can expand and an old city with a distinct historic vibe that locals want to hold on to. For better or worse, In new orleans, you can't just mow down a hundred-year-old House and replace it with 6 townhouses as you can in other sun belt cities.

I'm a Louisiana native but I have lived in 3 foreign countries and 4 other states. If you are younger than 30 get out of Louisiana. At this time Louisiana does not have much of a future.
After my wife (no pics) and I retire we are getting out of here permanently.

I'm literally looking at the redfin map of houses for sale right now.
Want to know how many 3/2s are listed in uptown or midcity for 260k or less?
Zero.
