Doesn't have my area, so I picked Boise, with 3 occupations and renting
As an Auto Mechanic, DH made 9/hour - The site shows 18
As a Construction Laborer, DH made 8/hour - The site shows 15
As a Delivery Truck Driver (DH was actually a garbage truck driver), DH made 10/hour - The site site shows 13
Note that DH made the most on the site that shows the least. For rent, it's sort of accurate. 1 bedroom- 10/hour, 2 bedroom - 12/hour. DH was making 7-8/hour back when we were in a 2 bd apartment and while we needed (some, not the full allotment) food stamps, it was ok. 12 an hour would have been nice.
ETA:
Went back and did home ownership and it shows 65k needed, which sucks to be us cause we barely make half that.
