Farmers market downtown tonight By Josh Boak TheAssociatedPress WASHINGTON Home rental prices are climbing across much of the United States — with the biggest gains coming from not from New York or San Francisco but Jackson, Mississippi, and Portland, Maine. Real estate data firm Zil- low said Tuesday that prices nationally climbed a sea- sonally adjusted 4.3 per- cent in May from a year ago. Rents still are rising at double-digit rates in Den- ver, San Francisco and San Jose, California, with their job opportunities drawing new residents at a faster pace than construction can match. But two smaller metro areas led the gains in May. Houses in the Mississippi capital of Jackson are rent- ing monthly for $1,169, a 22.7 percent yearly in- crease. On the northeast- ern end of the United States, rental prices in Portland, Maine have shot up 17.4 percent. The steadily rising costs of renting houses and apartments are cre- ating new financial pres- sures for many Ameri- cans. Rental prices have grown at roughly double the rate of wages, forcing more Americans to limit their spending elsewhere or cutting into their sav- ings. A stunning 73 percent of renters say they have made financial trade-offs to pay their rents during the past three years, including tak- ing a second job and going into credit-card debt, ac- cording to a survey released this month by the MacAr- thur Foundation.
