About HUD Rents, Income Limits & ZIP Crosswalks
Use a free HUD USER bearer token to retrieve area Fair Market Rents, official HUD income-limit tables, HUD county and metro identifiers, and one exact USPS ZIP/GEOID crosswalk at a time. Results include HUD’s required non-endorsement notice. These are area and program benchmarks, not rent estimates, appraisals, parcel boundaries, or final eligibility decisions.
⚠ A free bearer token must be registered for each requested HUD dataset.
