![]() HUD averages the minimally statistically valid 5-year data which is adjusted to 2021 dollars using the national change in CPI between the ACS year of the data and 2021. ACS data from 2021, 2020, and 2019 will be evaluated to determine if it is minimally statistically valid. Minimal statistical validity is defined as those ACS estimates where the margin of error of the estimate is less than half the size of the estimate. Where statistically valid five-year data is not available, HUD will average the minimally statistically valid income estimates from the previous three years of ACS or PRCS data. If not, statistically valid 2021 five-year data is used. In areas where there is a statistically valid survey estimate using 2021 one-year ACS data, that is used. ![]() For an ACS estimate to be considered statistically valid, the estimate must have a margin of error less than half the size of the estimate and the estimate must be based on at least 100 observations. HUD would have ordinarily used 2020 ACS data for FY 2023 however, the Census Bureau did not release standard one-year estimates from the 2020 ACS due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on data collection (for more information please see this statement). To calculate the FY 2023 median incomes, HUD uses 2021 American Community Survey (ACS) median family incomes as the basis for FY 2023 medians for all areas designated as Fair Market Rent areas in the US including Puerto Rico. How does HUD calculate median family incomes? HUD develops income limits based on Median Family Income estimates and Fair Market Rent area definitions for each metropolitan area, parts of some metropolitan areas, and each non-metropolitan county. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets income limits that determine eligibility for assisted housing programs including the Public Housing, Section 8 project-based, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, Section 202 housing for the elderly, and Section 811 housing for persons with disabilities programs. ![]() To create an account and get an access token, please visit the API page here.
