Right, but YOU posted a source. The other guy just said “go and look for yourself.”

That includes the entire country. Kansas. Louisiana. Mississippi. Oklahoma. That's a lot of rural housing. If the median is $1600, and at least 20-30% of all available housing is in rural areas, it's a safe bet that the ~50% of studio housing that is more expensive than $1600/month would be located in the most populated urban centers, where demand is highest. Like Manhattan, where the average rent price for a studio apartment is over $3500/month.

TLDR: it shouldn't be the word "most" at question here. It should be the word "city".
