Ranked by HUD’s published efficiency Fair Market Rent in ascending order. HUD Fair Market Rent is an administrative gross-rent benchmark used for Housing Choice Voucher payment standards — usually the 40th-percentile rent — not the observed median rent charged by all landlords. HUD may define an area as a county, a metropolitan subarea, or a New England town; each row preserves the published entity.
