Affordability & income context

Crook County: #155 priciest nationally · income context

At the metro's ACS median household income of $85,509, this 1-bedroom FMR takes 14.8% of annual income. It is well below the 30% affordability guide for a median-income household.

The 2-bedroom figure places Crook County in the middle half of HUD metro areas, using the same FY2026 HUD schedule as the national comparison.

With 248,998 residents, this is a smaller-metro benchmark rather than a single-neighborhood rent quote.

Population grew 40.4% over the past five years (Census ACS) - among the faster-growing metros nationally, a trend that typically adds upward pressure on rents.

The ACS rental vacancy rate here is 3.2%, a tight rental market where HUD's annual FMR schedule can lag what landlords are actually asking.

The Census ACS median gross rent across all rental units here is $1,583/month - the FY2026 HUD two-bedroom FMR of $1,385 runs 12.5% below that all-unit-types median. The two figures measure different things (ACS covers every rented unit; FMR targets a specific bedroom count), so a gap is expected, not an error.

Its 2-bedroom FMR sits in the middle half of HUD metro areas, so the local-income comparison is more informative than the national rank alone.

The studio-through-two-bedroom FMR bands stay below 30% of recorded median income here; the larger-bedroom rows show where that headroom narrows.

Observed renter burden: 46.0% of the 29,410 renter households counted by ACS paid at least 30% of income in gross rent. This ACS 2023 household measure is distinct from the FY2026 HUD FMR benchmark.

ACS median household income lags the FY2026 HUD FMR schedule. The income share is a same-metro cross-source read (Census ACS B19013 vs HUD FMR), not a same-vintage ratio.
