    What it means for your family

    Fair market rent is the figure HUD uses as the reference for housing vouchers (Section 8) in your area. If you have a voucher or are on a waiting list, it gives you an idea of the program's rent range.

    1. 1The color bands come from the distinct values of all places, so a shared minimum (like the FHA floor) does not swallow the other bands.
    2. 2The state map and the county maps use different scales: one compares states with each other; the others compare counties with each other.
    3. 3Places without data are gray: the Census does not publish some figures for very small counties.
    4. It is an administrative reference, not the lowest or the highest price on the market. There are homes below it and many above it.
    5. 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.
    6. Counties in the same metropolitan area share the figure even when their markets differ.
