"The National Low Income Housing Coalition produces Out of Reach in an effort to provide this information to policy makers and advocates. Out of Reach contains income and rental housing cost data for the fifty states and District of Columbia by state, metropolitan area, and county or, in the case of New England, town. For each, it calculates the income that renter households need in order to afford rental housing and estimates how many of these households cannot afford to pay the Fair Market Rent (FMR), and what they would need to earn to pay the rent and keep their housing costs at 30 percent of their income, the generally accepted standard for affordability established by Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development."

Fair Market Rent Data are the FY 2002 FMR levels from the HUD web site (http://www.huduser.org/datasets/fmr/2002FMR.pdf). This report shows the government estimates for FY 2002 for Fair Market Rents throughout the USA. You must have Adobe®Reader® (a free program) to view this report. We have converted this data to an easily read web page--check FY 2002 FMRs to see your state's data.
