What the FMR for ZIP 71377 actually means

HUD publishes ZIP-level Small Area FMRs in designated metros. Our load has no SAFMR row for ZIP 71377, so we show the FMR-area schedule for Concordia: $647 1-bedroom, studio $601, 2-bedroom $834, 3-bedroom $1,139, 4-bedroom $1,249. Other ZIPs in the same FMR area share this schedule until a SAFMR row is available. These are 40th-percentile gross rents, not live asking rents.

Without SAFMR for this ZIP, every ZIP mapped to Concordia's FMR area shares the same baseline figures even when street-level market rents differ. Against the national benchmark the 1-bedroom FMR-area figure is 33% below the US average of $959, and 22% below the LA state average of $832. Year-over-year, the 1-bedroom moved down6.0% from FY 2025 ($688) to FY 2026.

For budgeting, the 30% affordability rule says rent should not exceed 30% of gross household income. At the FY 2026 1-bedroom FMR of $647, that implies a household income of $25,880 per year (about $2,157/month) to avoid being cost-burdened, a 2-bedroom at $834 lifts that threshold higher still. ZIP 71377 has a population of 112 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%).
