The latest county-level Zillow ZORI is $1,646 per month in 2026-06. It is a typical asking-rent index across rental types—not an arithmetic average, signed lease or quote for one property.

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 48113. 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.
Dallas County’s central tension is a measurable income screen alongside soft readings from two price series. At Zillow’s county 2026-06 observation, published median asking rent produces a 6.32% gross yield before costs, while Zillow’s median home value was down 2.71% year over year. FHFA’s 2025 annual repeat-transaction HPI also declined 0.12%. These are separate methods and vintages, not one combined appreciation rate. Cash-flow investigators can examine whether rent survives carrying costs; buyers dependent on price gains warrant caution.
The published rent is measured market asking rent, not HUD Fair Market Rent. It equals 85.20% of the HUD FMR payment standard, which cannot be substituted for achievable asking rent or used to revise the yield. The stated gross yield excludes taxes and other ownership costs. The effective property-tax rate is 1.58%, so assessed value, exemptions and appeal history matter to the rent-to-cost relationship. Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and modeled climate loss equals 0.14% of building value annually; that is a county-level model, not a parcel-specific loss estimate.
Realtor.com’s MLS listing-market evidence reports visible active supply, a 52-day median marketing time, and a 25.80% price-reduced share. These are asking-market supply, marketing-time and seller-concession measures, not closed-sale prices or proof of buyer demand. QCEW’s 2025 annual county-workplace employment rose 0.26%; it measures covered jobs at workplaces, not resident employment. Net tax-return migration was negative 8,933, while entrants’ average income lagged leavers by $6,910. Investors made 1,996 of 19,778 purchases: participation to examine, not proof that investors set prices or rental demand.
Important missing evidence includes closed-sale comparables, executed lease rents, vacancy, operating expenses, financing terms, property insurance, parcel flood exposure and assessment records. Those gaps prevent verification of property-level net cash flow, resale comparability and flood-cost exposure. The county evidence supports a screening thesis rather than a neighborhood or property conclusion. Next review should match a specific asset’s achieved rent, tax bill, insurance quote, flood zone, condition and nearby closed transactions against this county backdrop.
This view uses 12 direct Zillow ZIP markets matched to Census ZCTAs. Each ZIP is assigned by its largest HUD residential county share; this is not an exhaustive county inventory.
Dallas County’s selected direct-evidence ZIP/ZCTA matches show a wide current asking-rent range rather than one uniform rental landscape. Zillow ZORI, a typical observed asking-rent index for June 2026, runs from $1,051 in 75243 to $2,206 in 75201: a $1,155 spread, with a selected-set median of $1,495.50. The county Zillow value is $1,646. The decision is not which one figure represents the county; it is whether a household’s budget and needed unit type fit the relevant current index level, with search conditions assessed separately.
Zillow, ACS, and HUD answer different questions and should not be blended into a single affordability number. The ACS 2024 five-year survey estimates county median gross rent at $1,565; this is reported gross rent, not a current asking-rent index. In 75243, ACS median gross rent is $1,285 alongside its Zillow reading. HUD’s FY2026 two-bedroom FMR is an administrative standard, not an asking-rent observation, set at $1,931 countywide and $1,820 there. The selected-set Zillow-to-HUD ratio extends from 57.7% to 88.0%, but that comparison is neither a discount nor proof of program eligibility. Use ZORI as a broad observed asking-rent reference, ACS as historical survey context, and FMR only when the applicable bedroom-specific standard is relevant.
ACS five-year ZCTA estimates describe cost burden and vacancy, not live listings. The share of renter households with rent burden at or above 30% ranges from 35.6% to 62.2% in the selected set, while vacancy ranges from 4.4% to 15.5%. The trade-off is not linear: 75052 sits at the highest burden and lowest vacancy endpoints, whereas 75231 reaches the vacancy maximum yet retains a 50.5% burden share. Thus, neither a lower asking-rent index nor a higher vacancy estimate alone establishes lower payment pressure or a unit’s availability. Vacancy is a survey estimate of vacant housing, and burden describes household payments; neither is a current quote for a particular lease.
The displayed evidence is a selected crosswalked set, not a countywide ZIP inventory: 12 shown matches were chosen from 73 eligible matches and cover 159,321 renter households. ZIPs are assigned to Dallas County by the largest HUD residential-address share, even though a ZIP may cross county lines. Census ZCTAs are statistical areas rather than USPS delivery ZIPs, so their ACS estimates need not map exactly to a mailing ZIP or property. Before acting, verify the precise address’s county and ZIP/ZCTA match, current asking price and bedroom count, included utilities and recurring fees, deposit and lease terms, availability date, and any income or program rules. These property-level checks are essential because each source measures a different universe and time frame.

Zillow ZORI is an asking-rent index. ACS burden and population describe the Census ZCTA; missing observations remain n/a.
Census-recognized incorporated places and CDPs that intersect this county. The list does not pretend to include every neighborhood or informal community.
Population is the total place-wide ACS estimate, not an allocated county share. A place crossing a county line is labelled explicitly. Source: Census ACS 5-year — cities and communities · ACS 2024 5-year · pulled 2026-07-30.

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.

Market rent is published as median asking rent, while HUD FMR is a payment standard and cannot substitute for market rent.
No. It reports annual covered employment at workplaces in the county, not resident employment, unemployment or a forecast.
No. It identifies inland flood and a county-level modeled loss ratio, but does not publish parcel exposure or insurance costs.
