Affordability & income context

Provo-Orem-Lehi: #135 priciest nationally · income context

At the metro's ACS median household income of $96,745, this 1-bedroom FMR takes 15.7% of annual income. It is well below the 30% affordability guide for a median-income household.

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

With 677,964 residents, this is a major regional metro benchmark rather than a single-neighborhood rent quote.

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: 44.2% of the 63,048 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.
