18. Louisiana - $63,842

As we head over to Louisiana on our A-Z tour of the United States, we find that housing prices start to creep up a little bit; we're back above $10,000 on average, but only by a couple of hundred dollars. We're still comfortably below the $7,000 mark for food though, so there isn't too much additional strain on our theoretical traveler's wallet.

There are so many things Louisiana is known for that it's hard to know where to start. If you're a Millennial, you might be inclined to say 'Britney Spears!' That would be disregarding years of rich cultural heritage in the state though; this is the home of Mardi Gras, and of Bayou Country, and of all the jazz and voodoo history in New Orleans. People from all races and all walks of life have melded together in Louisiana; it's a melting pot of creed and culture.
