Understanding FMR Trends

Fair Market Rents are published each fall for the upcoming fiscal year (October through September). HUD adjusts FMRs annually based on local rental market surveys, American Community Survey (ACS) data, and Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments. Periods of rapid rent growth — such as the 2021–2023 period of post-pandemic inflation — are reflected in sharp FMR increases, while periods of market cooling may produce flat or modestly rising FMRs.

Historical data is useful for housing advocates, economists, and policymakers analyzing long-term trends in housing affordability. A rising FMR generally indicates a tightening rental market; a FMR that grows slower than household incomes suggests improving affordability, while one that outpaces income growth signals worsening cost burden.
