Most large cities have their gay ghetto.
However you mention money.
The Bay Area here in California provides a huge chunk of jobs, the people live in the 'bedroom communities' further east in Tracy, Stockton, Livermore - etc. Up to 100 or so miles away people will commute to and from the Bay, the City (San Francisco) in order to reap the higher pay, yet pay less just by living further away in communities where the cost of living is lower.
The second time I lived in San Francisco I rented a studio apartment for some ridiculous amount - 100 miles east of SOMA San Francisco the price for a two bedroom house (rent) was on par to what I was paying for a one room, one bath 'loft'.
So that gives you some idea about the differences in cost of living.
The cost of living in the Casto (San Francisco's Gay District) is much higher than other parts of San Francisco.... I would imagine the same applies to most gay districts where you are literally charged extra to associated with the gay district.
