I wonder of those are based on federal minimum wage (which I think is currently $7.25/hr) or state minimum wage?

I think the table is in error. Here's an example - Colorado minimum wage is $7.64/hr and the table indicates you would need to work 85 hours per week to afford an apartment. That comes out to be $649/week, or $2814/month.

Maybe they mean after taxes, or after taxes and groceries and gas and all other expenses.
