I have two examples of how living modestly as a grad student at Stanford may be difficult.

• There is a University-sanctioned monthly food bank for students. https://rde.stanford.edu/food-pantry-pop-up

• After securing an apartment community specifically for postdocs, the minimum income required for many rentals was set higher than minimum postdoc funding. https://stanforddaily.com/2023/04/23/postdocs-say-theyre-fin...

Do I have hard numbers? No, but I’m not going to take the time to gather hard numbers for this site.

Also, telling postdocs (and grad students) to simply live off campus would be detrimental to the University, given it’s relationship with the County.
