Affordability & income context

San Angelo: #178 priciest nationally · income context

At the metro's ACS median household income of $66,037, this 1-bedroom FMR takes 19.1% of annual income. It is well below the 30% affordability guide for a median-income household.

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

With 120,837 residents, this is a smaller-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.

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.
