Read the local picture
Fair Market Rent (FMR) is HUD’s estimate of the 40th percentile gross rent for standard-quality rental homes occupied by recent movers. It includes rent and most tenant-paid utilities. A household’s actual rent can differ substantially by neighborhood, lease and property.
Put the benchmark in context
The rent-to-income comparison uses 12 months of the 2BR FMR divided by median household income. It compares different vintages and all household types; it is not the share of renter households that are cost burdened.
Annual income vs annual 2BR rent

Income remaining after this rent benchmark is $77,333 per year, before taxes, food, transport, health care and other expenses.
