You can still get ~1000/mo in a decent apartment in an urban area in Ohio.

If the urban area you are talking about is specifically the east side of Cleveland, or near parsons in Columbus then maybe. But as it stands right now in the cleveland area specifically (can’t speak about another place) you’ll struggle to find anything that’s upkept for less than 1300 right now.

At least that’s my experience

I don't rent anymore, but I have friends in decent places outside of Akron and Columbus paying about $1000. Also $1300 is still better than this "mythical" $1600.
