Fair Market Rent by state

HUD sets Fair Market Rents at the metro / county level, not statewide, so a state contains many FMR areas. Below, each of the 51 states and DC is summarised by the median, lowest and highest 2-bedroom FMR among its areas in FY2026. The national median 2-bedroom FMR is $975. Open a state to see every FMR area inside it and the figures for all bedroom sizes.
