About these numbers
Fair Market Rents are HUD's estimates of the 40th percentile of gross rent (rent plus utilities) for standard-quality units. HUD sets them for each metro area and each nonmetropolitan county every fiscal year, and housing agencies use them to set Housing Choice Voucher payment standards. The state figure shown here is the middle value across the state's areas, not an official HUD statewide number.
To turn any rent into an income target, multiply the monthly rent by 40: that is the yearly gross income at which rent takes 30% of pay, the federal line for housing cost burden. A $1,500 rent, for example, needs about $60,000 a year. The rent affordability calculator does the comparison for any area, and each state page lists every metro area and county with its FY2026 Fair Market Rents.
