Michigan that ranks 5th on our list of cheapest states to live in the US for families is among the most expensive states when it comes to college tuition fees and childcare. Still, it has taken the very high position on the ‘Cheapest States to live in the US for Families’ list, due to incredibly affordable housing. This was the direct consequence of the 2008 Economic crash when both inner city and suburb neighborhoods got almost deserted.
