Statistical median / public-data estimate by ZIP, bedrooms, and property type. not MLS asking rent.

HUD FMR stays on the result as the 40th / voucher number.
Austin HUD rental rates, Nashville ZIP HUD rent range, Dallas HUD rental rates by ZIP code, Atlanta median rent, and Columbus 2026 HUD rent sit next to this estimator. HUD SAFMR versus market rent keeps the voucher figure in its own column.
Two numbers, two jobs. FMR (40th) is HUD’s voucher / payment-standard figure. It is not market rent. Market blend (50th + ACS) is the underwriting hero: HUD FY2026 50th-percentile scaled onto the ZIP FMR/SAFMR, plus Census ACS 2024 5-year B25031. The form below returns both. Confirm with local comps. Methodology.
The hero number is a statistical median from public files, not an asking-rent scrape. HUD Fair Market Rents / Small Area FMRs are the 40th-percentile voucher schedule. we still show them, labeled as 40th / voucher. The lift uses HUD’s separate FY2026 50th-percentile series (not FMR) as ZIP FMR/SAFMR × (area 50th ÷ area 40th), then BLS CPI Shelter and a small property-type multiplier. ACS 2024 5-year B25031 is a second occupied-unit anchor with the Census margin of error. We do not drop a ZORI all-homes ZIP dollar onto a 3BR estimate.
A ZIP in the HUD file uses that ZIP's published FMR or Small Area FMR. Where the area has a HUD 50th, the estimate scales the ZIP rent by that area's 50th/40th ratio, then ages it with CPI Shelter. A ZIP that is not in the HUD file returns an error. A HUD row with no bedroom rent is labeled as the national median. Bedroom counts above 4 use HUD's historical +18% pattern.
No. HUD Fair Market Rent is the 40th-percentile voucher schedule. It is not market rent. This estimator shows FMR labeled as 40th / voucher. The hero is a HUD FY2026 50th-percentile plus Census ACS 2024 5-year B25031 market blend.
