Each person in a two-person household would have to work 82 hours a week at minimum wage in Nashville to pay rent on a 0-2 bedroom home – even though rent in the metro has fallen 5.6% year-over-year. That’s the finding of a new national analysis by Renter.com.

Things are not much better in Austin, where the same household would each have to work 79 hours, or in Dallas, where 77 hours each would be required.
