Sources and what these figures include
HUD Fair Market Rents estimate the 40th percentile of gross rents for standard-quality homes. They are annual housing-program benchmarks, not average asking rents, available properties or furnished travel-housing quotes. Gross rent accounts for rent and utilities.
Geography follows HUD’s county and town definitions. Several locations can share a metro benchmark. The lookup preserves each published location; it does not substitute a nearby city.
FY2027 schedule: 2026-10-01 to 2027-09-30. Source checked 2026-10-04. These published figures can be revised; this lookup does not establish eligibility or a local program’s payment standard.
