The number I remember is my first (fully furnished) apartment after I graduated from college in 1974.
It was a nice one bedroom in Dallas. The complex had a swimming pool and other amenities in the Love Field area.
The rent was $155 a month.

The average rent today in Dallas is ten times that.
155 today is worth close to a thousand dollars.
