Normal Renting

An interactive map shows the minimum wage needed to be able to afford the median rental cost in an area (as of October 2014). For Bloomington-Normal, a dual-earner household would need at least $11.76 per hour and a single-earner household would need at least $23.52 per hour (assuming a 40-hour workweek, 50 weeks per year of work).
