The data come from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s latest Small-Area Fair Market Rent estimates for each of the county’s ZIP codes. Estimated rental unit and total housing unit counts, as well as their margins of error, come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s latest-available American Community Survey.

Produced each year for selected ZIP codes in more densely populated areas of the country, Small-Area Fair Market Rent estimates reflect the monthly rent figure – with utilities included – below which the rent for 40 percent of standard quality rental housing units fall within the area. HUD’s method for producing the estimates draws from the distribution of rents of all rental units in the area that are occupied by recent movers, excluding public housing units, newly built units, and substandard units.

HUD uses these estimates to figure out how much money to provide in federal housing assistance. But you can use the same figures to get an idea of what a reasonable rent might be for a standard-quality rental unit in a given ZIP code. HUD provides estimates for different sizes of rental units, from a studio to a four-bedroom unit.
