Affordability & income context

Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh: #35 priciest nationally · income context

At the metro's ACS median household income of $96,912, this 1-bedroom FMR takes 19.2% of annual income. It is well below the 30% affordability guide for a median-income household.

The 2-bedroom figure places Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh in the highest-rent tenth of HUD metro areas, using the same FY2026 HUD schedule as the national comparison.

With 697,704 residents, this is a major regional metro benchmark rather than a single-neighborhood rent quote.

That budget pressure matches a top-decile 2-bedroom FMR nationally (#35 of 387 HUD-tracked metros).

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

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.
