    Methodology

    What the state figure shows

    HUD publishes the Fair Market Rent by area, not by state. The state figure is the average of its counties weighted by population (our calculation); the map uses that figure. Your county’s FMR by bedroom count is on its page.

    Before you use this number

    • It is an administrative reference, not the lowest or the highest price on the market. There are homes below it and many above it.

    • In some areas HUD uses the 50th percentile, and in several metros it publishes rents by ZIP code (SAFMRs), which we do not show yet.

    • Counties in the same metropolitan area share the figure even when their markets differ.
