How rent is measured

Typical asking rent across the county, from Zillow's rent index — all home types and sizes. Rent ASKED, not paid: the Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI), smoothed, all home types and sizes, for the whole county, monthly. A market index built from listings, published by Zillow; it describes a typical rental, not a 2-bedroom specifically.

Median rent paid across the county, all sizes, utilities excluded — US Census Bureau, American Community Survey. Rent PAID, not asked: the US Census Bureau's ACS 5-year median contract rent (table B25058) for the whole county, across every occupied rental including long-standing leases, all sizes, utilities excluded.

HUD's Fair Market Rent for a one-bedroom home — a 40th-percentile rent including utilities, not a market average. HUD Fair Market Rent, 1-bedroom, FY2026 — 40th-percentile gross rent (rent plus tenant-paid utilities), not a market average.

Utilities other than electricity, transport, everyday spending and eating out are not included: no official source prices them for each town.

These are straight lines, not routes. Flight distances are measured airport to airport across the Earth's surface, from GSP to each destination's main airport. The drive to GSP is the exception: that one is a measured road route.

Estimated flying time is our own arithmetic, not a timetable: the straight-line distance flown at 780 km/h, plus 45 minutes for taxi, climb and descent, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. A real flight is longer than a straight line, and whether a nonstop exists at all changes by season and airline — check current schedules.

The 108 destinations above are a chosen list, not every city — the capital and the largest cities of each country we publish for, by population (up to ten for the United States, five for Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, three elsewhere). Two cities served by the same airport appear once. A city that is not on the list is not unusually far; it is simply not on the list.
