Zillow asking rent, ACS gross rent and HUD FMR describe different housing universes. They remain separate and no metro, city or neighboring-county value replaces missing county evidence.Zillow pulled 2026-07-26 · HUD pulled 2026-07-26
Everything here joins on the county FIPS code, so each figure comes from the agency that publishes it with no name matching in between.
Zillow estimates a current home value. FHFA tracks repeat mortgage transactions. Their growth rates should be read side by side, not averaged.
Survey source: Census ACS 5-year — county housing value, tenure and stock · ACS 2024 5-year · pulled 2026-07-30. These values describe different housing universes and are not combined into gross yield.
Workplace source: BLS QCEW — county employment and wages · annual county employment and wages 2021-2025; latest 2025 vs 2024 · pulled 2026-08-02. QCEW counts covered jobs located in the county, not employed residents or the metro score’s CES/LAUS series.
BEA per-capita personal income divides all personal income by the county population. It is broader than wages, but it is not household income or a measure of what renters can afford.
HUD CHAS separates renter households by income relative to local HAMFI. Moderate burden means housing costs above 30% through 50% of income; severe burden means more than 50%.
These Apartment List observations match the exact county Census code 13013. They are kept separate from Zillow asking rent, Census occupied-home rent and wider metro measures.

Barrow County presents a yield-versus-liquidity tension: the Zillow county median home value was $351,200, while median asking market rent was $2,108 per month and the supplied gross yield was 7.20% before expenses. Yet that value measure declined 1.30% year over year. This is a county for operators who can validate property-level income and expense durability; buyers relying on quick resale or a generic Atlanta read-through should be cautious.
Rent is measured market asking rent, not a subsidy benchmark. The effective property-tax rate was 0.78%, so the reported gross yield must still absorb tax and all unprovided operating, financing, vacancy and insurance costs; net yield cannot be established. HUD’s two-bedroom FMR was $1,820 per month, but FMR is a payment standard rather than an asking-rent estimate and cannot substitute for observed market rent. Property-level assessments and taxes are needed to test carrying costs.
MLS conditions at Realtor.com suggest more seller negotiation: active listings were up 29.91% year over year and 20.65% had price reductions. Those are visible asking-market supply and concessions, not closed-sale prices or standalone proof of buyer demand. QCEW’s annual average covered employment at county workplaces rose 2.92%, not resident employment. Tax-return migration shows 1,171 net inbound households, whose average AGI exceeded departing households by $1,709. Investor mortgages numbered 151 of 1,722 purchases, indicating nonowner competition is present but not dominant.
FHFA’s 2025 repeat-transaction HPI posted a 1.00% annual increase and a 67.83% cumulative five-year gain, while Zillow’s 2026-06 value measure declined. Their methods and periods differ, so they should not be averaged. Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and modeled annual climate loss is 0.12% of building value; site flood exposure, insurance availability and deductibles remain unreported. Missing closed-sale comps, vacancy and lease-up evidence, expense and insurance quotes, debt terms, and property-level flood data prevent a defensible net-cash-flow or resale-liquidity conclusion.

A metro is an average of these. Which side of a county line a property sits on can change the tax bill, the hazard profile and the tenant pool.
