On Wednesday, personal finance website WalletHub published a report that found the best cities for renters this year. Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was at the top of the list.
According to the report, about 44 million American households rent instead of own their homes for either convenience or cost. However, rental prices are rising, which means some cities are better for renting than others.
