What the FMR for ZIP 32072 actually means

HUD publishes Small Area Fair Market Rents at the ZIP code level for designated metros. ZIP 32072 (Olustee, FL) is covered by Baker County, FL HUD Metro FMR Area, so FY 2026 figures here are ZIP-specific: $870 for a 1-bedroom, studio $850, 2-bedroom $1,070, 3-bedroom $1,400, and 4-bedroom $1,710. These are 40th-percentile gross rents (utilities except telephone), not live asking rents.

For budgeting, the 30% affordability rule says rent should not exceed 30% of gross household income. At the FY 2026 1-bedroom FMR of $870, that implies a household income of $34,800 per year (about $2,900/month) to avoid being cost-burdened, a 2-bedroom at $1,070 lifts that threshold higher still. ZIP 32072 has a population of 324 residents, so the gap between these FMR figures and local wages shapes how many households qualify as rent-burdened (paying more than 30% of income) or severely burdened (above 50%).
