At the other end of the spectrum are many states in the South, Midwest and the Rust Belt, where the average salary for system administrator is much lower due to poor economic growth, industry crises, and a dependence on agriculture instead of manufacturing and business. The only exception in the Midwest is Illinois; its average salary of $85,313 nearly puts the state into the top 10.
Of course, one reason salaries are higher in certain locations is that the cost of living is higher. To get a better measure of how far your salary will actually go, we looked into how rent varies by state (using Zillow.com). By dividing the average rent divided by the average sysadmin salary for each state, a different picture emerges of the best places to live from an economic perspective.
As you can see, several of the states with high sysadmin salaries also have extremely high monthly rent-to-income ratios (e.g., California, New York and New Jersey). Other places that are extremely expensive to live in cannot even boast of high sysadmin salaries (e.g., Alaska, Illinois and Vermont). Florida, which is now perceived as one of the most attractive places for startups, also has a high rent-to-income ratio (25%).
