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 13063. They are kept separate from Zillow asking rent, Census occupied-home rent and wider metro measures.
Monthly overall-rent index; missing observations are not filled from another geography.
Clayton County poses a yield-versus-exit tension: cash-flow investigators can examine measured rent support, but buyers dependent on appreciation or quick resale should be cautious amid softer values and net out-migration. In Zillow’s 2026-06 county reading, median home value was $230,715, down 4.42% year over year; median asking rent was $1,596 monthly, and the supplied gross yield was 8.3%. Zillow’s value is not a closed-sale price, while the rent is measured asking rent; both require address-level comparables and lease validation.
The supplied gross yield is before operating costs. The effective property-tax rate is 0.87%, a carrying-cost screen that omits insurance, repairs, financing, vacancy and management. HUD two-bedroom FMR is a payment standard, not market asking rent; it must neither replace the published market rent nor be used to alter the yield calculation.
Realtor.com’s 2026-06 MLS listing-market evidence shows visible active supply, a 59-day median marketing time, and reductions on 19.99% of listings. This describes asking supply and seller concessions, not closed-sale prices or buyer demand alone. Migration adds a demand-quality caution: net migration was -1,007 tax-return households, and inbound movers’ average income trailed outbound movers by $1,126. Investor mortgages represented 11.23% of 2,601 purchases; that establishes measurable investor participation but does not show investor ownership, cash purchases, or control of pricing.
FHFA’s annual 2025 repeat-transaction HPI fell 2.3%, supporting Zillow’s directional softness but using a distinct vintage and method that cannot be averaged with Zillow’s value change. The modeled annual climate-loss ratio is 0.10% of building value, aligned with the dominant inland-flood hazard but not a property-specific loss estimate. QCEW covers annual employment at county workplaces, not resident employment, unemployment or a forecast; Trade, transportation, and utilities is its largest disclosed private supersector, not the whole economy. Missing insurance and flood-zone data prevent a carrying-cost conclusion; closed-sale, absorption and property-level lease and vacancy evidence are needed to judge resale liquidity and sustainable income.

Listing price is an asking price, not a closed sale. Quality-flagged county rows are withheld instead of displayed.
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.

Yes. The record publishes median asking market rent and a supplied gross yield, both requiring property-level expense validation.
It shows visible active supply, longer marketing time and seller price reductions, but provides no closed-sale outcome evidence.
Inland flood is the dominant hazard; insurance, flood-zone and mitigation information are not published in the record.
