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 13097. They are kept separate from Zillow asking rent, Census occupied-home rent and wider metro measures.

Douglas County presents a yield-versus-softness question: a cautious cash-flow underwriter should investigate expense durability before treating income return as protection against weaker pricing. Zillow’s county measure labeled 2026-06 puts median home value at $304,683, down 3.3% year over year. FHFA’s annual 2025 repeat-transaction HPI also declined, corroborating direction but neither supplying a home value nor sharing Zillow’s vintage or method; the rates cannot be combined.
Measured median asking rent is $1,765 per month, supporting the supplied gross yield of 6.95% before vacancy, debt, insurance, repairs, or taxes. This is market rent, whereas HUD’s two-bedroom FMR is a payment standard, not a rent estimate, and cannot set yield. The 0.75% effective property-tax rate makes carrying costs a parcel-level verification item. Operating expenses, insurance quotes, financing terms, and rent distribution are not published; their absence prevents a net-yield or affordability conclusion.
In the 2026-06 Realtor.com MLS listing market, active listings rose 9.32%, and 21.97% of listings had price reductions. These are asking-price, visible-supply, and seller-concession measures, not closed-sale prices or standalone proof of buyer demand. Net migration was positive, yet average income for movers in trailed movers out by $3,926, limiting what the count says about incoming purchasing power. Investor mortgages represented 7.12% of the 1,881 recorded purchases; that establishes non-occupant participation, not cash-buyer activity or competition for any specific property.
QCEW’s 2025 annual covered employment at county workplaces declined 2.30%; it is not resident employment, unemployment, or a forecast. Trade, transportation, and utilities is the largest disclosed private supersector, not the whole economy. Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and modeled building-value loss is 0.09% annually; this is modeled exposure, not an observed claim result. Next checks are parcel flood maps and elevation, insurance quotes, operating statements, lease rent comparables, and closed-sale comparables.

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; HUD FMR should not replace either measure.
They establish MLS active-listing supply, asking-price positioning, marketing time, price reductions, and pending listings relative to active inventory, not closed-sale outcomes.
No. QCEW measures annual covered employment at workplaces in the county, not resident employment or unemployment.
