Depends on your area.

Edit: working a full 40hr/wk at $17/hr can afford rent up to ~$880/mo.

Thats something like 50 percent of your pay in my area.

$17/hr can afford ~$880/mo. rent. Not impossible, especially with a roommate or domestic partner.

You forgot about other things like food, probably a car, phone bill.

I did not. I calculated rent as 30% of income, the level generally considered affordable. Admittedly it is pre-tax income, so arguably the number is a bit lower, but it's a start.
