A five-digit code is matched to the Census 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Area with the same code. The county is the one with the largest land area inside that ZCTA in the Census relationship file. Land share is that county's land area divided by the ZCTA land area across counties, rounded half up to 0.01 percentage point. A tie on land area uses the lower county FIPS code. Rent-to-income equals Census median gross rent (ACS table B25064) times 12, divided by renter median household income (ACS table B25119, renter-occupied column). The percent shown is that ratio rounded half up to the nearest 0.01 percentage point. HUD columns are the FY2026 4-person Very Low (50%) limit and the 4-person Low (80%) limit, plus the HUD area median family income on the same row. When every town row in a county publishes the same three figures, the page stores them once under the county name. When they differ, each town row is stored. A county is left out when median rent or renter income is missing or not positive. Rank is the unrounded ratio, then the county name.
