per month, HUD FY 2027
Fair Market Rent is a HUD 40th-percentile gross-rent benchmark. It includes tenant-paid utilities and is not a current asking-rent quote or a guaranteed voucher payment.
This county has multiple HUD areas. Choose the town or rent area containing the home; the site does not average different program limits.
Compare rent with your budget.
The comparison uses 30% of gross income for rent and utilities.
Fair market rent by bedroom.
Select an available HUD area to display all five bedroom sizes.
Compare a ZIP-level benchmark.
HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents use ZIP-level figures. Enter a ZIP in Massachusetts to compare its schedule; the county or metro figures above keep their own geographic scope.
What the benchmark means.
FMR is a gross rent for standard-quality units. A housing agency’s payment standard and rent-reasonableness rules determine how the figure is used. Where Small Area FMRs apply, ZIP-level benchmarks may differ from the county or metro figure.
Good questions. Clear answers.
