Where these numbers come from

  • HUD Small Area Fair Market Rent — HUD's ZIP-level estimate of the 40th percentile rent for recent movers, published each fall. Available in 72 metro areas.
  • Census ACS median gross rent — the median rent paid in the ZIP, averaged over five years of surveys, so it lags fast-rising markets. Shown with its margin of error; very uncertain estimates are left out.
  • HUD Fair Market Rent (county) — the county-wide figure, used as the second point when only one ZIP-level figure exists, or on its own where there are none.
  • All figures are gross rent: rent plus tenant-paid utilities. Asking rents for a specific unit can be higher or lower; use this as a sanity check, not an appraisal.
