Source: HUD FY2026 Fair Market Rent documentation (huduser.gov), downloaded and parsed 2026-09-06. US government public-domain data. ZIPs listed are the first-listed ZIP of each HUD area; many areas set Small Area FMRs per ZIP instead of one number for the whole metro, which is why ZIP-level data matters.

Typical uses: pricing a rental against the local 40th percentile, tenant screening ranges, rent comparator models, market research, and dashboard backends. The data is public domain, so what you pay for is the parsing and cleanup, not a license.
