You may be familiar with some expensive ZIP codes in certain states, but do you know where the least expensive ZIP codes can be found across the United States?

To find out where the least expensive ZIP code is in each state, GOBankingRates took the average February 2024 home value and used the 30-year fixed rate average mortgage rate to calculate the average mortgage cost for each state along with the average rental cost. Both rental and mortgage costs were scored and sorted to show the least expensive ZIP codes.

In alphabetical state order, here’s where you’ll find the least expensive ZIP code in every state.

Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates analyzed ZIP codes across the United States to find the least expensive in every state. First GOBankingRates found the average home value from February 2024 as sourced from Zillow Home Value Index, and using the 30-year fixed rate national average mortgage rate, as sourced from the Federal Reserve Economic Research, the average mortgage cost was calculated for each state. The average rental cost was found using the Zillow Observed Rental Index. The rental cost and the mortgage cost were both scored and sorted to show the least expensive ZIP codes in the country. GOBankingRates was then able to use the scores to calculate the least expensive in each state. All data was collected on and is up to date as of March 21, 2024.
