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.

The ACS rental vacancy rate here is 3.6%, 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 $1,568/month - the FY2026 HUD two-bedroom FMR of $1,979 runs 26.2% above 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.

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.

Observed renter burden: 51.0% of the 79,252 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.
