What happens if you state salary expectations higher than their budget?

I'm moving from a high cost area on the West Coast to a smaller town outside Philadelphia. Let's just say my rent is going from $800 to $400. I have a first interview for a job that is exactly in line with my skills, pretty much a lateral move. Because of the steep difference in cost of living, I'm unsure of how to approach salary expectations when they ask.

What I make now is $57,000 after a recent promotion. My initial research on payscale and glassdoor says it's appropriate to expect around 50k where I'm going, but I don't want to take a step back if I can help it since I don't believe 55-60k is outlandish for an officey bachelor degree job 20 minutes outside a major city. Do I need a reality check?

Say they are really looking to pay $46k and I say $55k because I have years of experience and am a legitimately good fit---would they simply counter offer in that event? I don't have much experience negotiating, and I'm nervous to either lowball myself out of too much caution or take myself out of the running by stating a number too high. I just need to know how these things usually play out when the conversation moves to money, but you ask for more than they are willing to offer. (Truth be told, I'd take the job anyway to get on my feet during the pandemic--just want to maximize it of course.)
