I just looked up the two cities I referenced in my other comment on the website you mentioned. For one adult with no children, working 40 hours a week, the more expensive one is listed as $36.64 and the less expensive one is listed as $21.29.
$36.64 definitely sounds closer to an actual living wage for my city, too.
I'm curious, did you go to livingwage.mit.edu? Their page for my city only lists a single amount for a living/poverty/minimum wage for one adult woth no kids.
I did go to that website. Both the pages I looked at had multiple columns for different numbers of adults and children.
