Rental Market
2009 Fair Market Rent: 1BR not available, 2BR not available

�Copyright 2000-2010 Center for Housing Policy

Rental data are from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's report on Fair Market Rents for the year 2010 and are based on a survey of recently occupied units. The Hourly Wage Needed to Afford is the hourly wage that must be earned so that this rent does not exceed 30 percent of income, a standard measure of affordability. It is based on a concept developed by the National Low Income Housing Coalition.

Wage data are as of November 2009 and were obtained from a proprietary database of salary information by geographic location maintained by Salary.com.
