One commenter stated that HUD must calculate utilities in FMRs the way it has done previously because utility data is not listed within the private data sources. HUD is making this change in response to the lack of availability of ACS 2020 data and the changes in rental markets that have occurred following the COVID-19 pandemic. Commenters also encouraged HUD to assess the feasibility of using observed CPI data or private data sources to adjust rents forward from the 2020 ACS to 2022, rather than 2021. To ensure an adequate distributional fit in these bedroom ratio calculations for individual FMR areas, HUD establishes bedroom interval ranges which set upper and lower limits for bedroom ratios nationwide, based on an analysis of the range of such intervals for all areas with large enough samples to permit accurate bedroom ratio determinations. Further, HUD takes the average of the private data sources along with the CPI in constructing a shelter rent inflation factor.

The information contained in this site was valid at the time of posting. HUD multiplies this rent ratio by the current two-bedroom FMR for the metropolitan area containing the small area to generate the current year two-bedroom FMR for the small area. The commenter stated that this situation creates an affordability burden on persons who work at the public lands or amenities regions because they are not able to live close to their jobs.

HUD Response: This For these reasons, HUD requires an area to be covered by at least three private data sources before incorporating any private data sources in the FMR estimates. A commenter stated that HUD should announce exactly how it plans to use private sector datasets, how it will apply changes to estimation and trending approaches, which datasets it plans to use, which geographic areas these changes may affect, and at least a Accordingly, if the current year's FMRs are less than 90 percent of the prior year's FMRs as calculated by the above methodology, HUD sets the current year's FMRs equal to 90 percent of the prior year's FMRs.
