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.

Rent is usually monthly. I got the impression the number was how many hours a month for the rent. Also, nobody could do it in a week on Minimum wage, no matter where you live.
