Final FY 2016 Fair Market Rent Documentation System

This system provides complete documentation of the development of the Final FY 2016 Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for any area of the country selected by the user. After selecting the desired geography, the user is provided a page containing a summary of how the FY 2016 FMRs were developed and updated starting with the formation of the FMR Areas from the metropolitan Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) as established by the Office of Management and Budget, the newly available 2013 American Community Survey (ACS) 1 year data and the newly available 2009-2013 5 year data, and updating to FY 2016 including information from local survey data. The tables on the summary page include links to complete detail on how the data were developed.

Note: The FMR Documentation Systems are intended to provide an in-depth exposition of the methodology used to generate Fair Market Rents for a given geographic area selected by the user. The actual FMRs published in the Federal Register are computed using data on rent distributions that are prohibited from public release under Title XIII to protect the confidentiality of respondents. The documentation systems re-calculate Fair Market Rents based on publicly available data from the 2000 Census. These data contain rounded distributions to assure the confidentiality of respondents. Calculations using the rounded data may not produce the same result as calculations using the protected data. Consequently, the documentation system provides a demonstration of the methodology and results that are close to, but in some cases different from, the official FMRs published for a given year. The difference between HUD's actual results and those demonstrated here are inversely related to the size of the FMR area. That is, the larger the area, the closer the calculation based on the rounded data is likely to be to the census base rent computed from the protected data.
