The latest county-level Zillow ZORI is $2,140 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 17043. They are kept separate from Zillow asking rent, Census occupied-home rent and wider metro measures.

DuPage’s tension is measured gross income against carrying costs and inland-flood screening, while listings show marketing time alongside concessions. Investors who can validate taxes, insurance, leases and parcel flood exposure should investigate; buyers relying on appreciation, county averages, or HUD standards should be cautious. Zillow’s 2026-06 county series reports a $449,185 median home value and $2,140 monthly median asking rent. That is market rent, not a guaranteed lease rate; the supplied 5.72% gross yield is before taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, financing, or management.
At a 2.05% effective property-tax rate, the $8,007 median annual tax can materially reduce the gross yield, so acquisition review needs actual assessments and appeals history. HUD’s $1,781 Fair Market Rent is a payment standard, not an estimate of asking rent; reported market asking rent is 20.20% higher by calculation. FHFA’s separate 2025 annual repeat-transaction HPI increased 6.24%. That corroborates an upward index direction, but it is not a dollar home value and does not share Zillow’s method or observation window; the two changes cannot be averaged.
Realtor.com’s MLS listing-market evidence shows visible active supply, 26 median days on market, and 11.53% of listings with price reductions. These figures describe asking supply, marketing time, and seller concessions—not sale prices or buyer demand alone. Tax-return migration was a net outflow of 3,567 households, while incoming and outgoing mover average incomes were nearly identical. Non-occupant purchase mortgages were 768 of 8,950 purchases, or 8.58%; this identifies some buyer competition but does not reveal the target property’s segment, cash buyers, or hold strategy.
QCEW annual covered employment at county workplaces rose 1.17%; it is not resident employment, unemployment, or a forecast. Trade, transportation, and utilities is the largest disclosed private supersector, not the whole county economy. Modeled climate loss is 0.10% of building value annually and inland flood is the dominant hazard, requiring parcel-specific flood, insurance, drainage, and deductible review. Missing sale comps, vacancy, operating expenses, insurance quotes, property condition, and flood-zone data prevent a net-yield, resale, or site-risk conclusion.
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.
Within this selected 12-ZIP direct-evidence set, Zillow’s June 2026 ZORI—a typical observed asking-rent index—runs from $1,718 in 60517 to $2,467 in 60540. That is a $749 spread around a selected-set median of $1,944; the county ZORI is $2,140. This spread frames a search question rather than a ranking: what current unit, bedroom count, and lease terms can be obtained at a target payment, and how much location-level variation is acceptable? The endpoints demonstrate that a county-level figure will not describe every selected ZIP. Because ZORI is an index of typical observed asking rents, it is useful for setting a current-market screen, not for asserting the price of a particular available home. The selection is direct evidence, but it should not be treated as a complete map of rental options.
The rent measures answer different questions and should remain separate. The ACS 2024 five-year ZCTA median gross-rent estimates range from $1,241 to $1,983 among selected areas, against a county estimate of $1,688; these are survey estimates rather than a current asking-rent series. HUD’s FY2026 two-bedroom FMR standards range from $1,570 to $2,420, an administrative benchmark that is bedroom-specific rather than evidence of asking rent. A mechanical comparison of ZIP ZORI with the local FMR spans 89.1% to 114.7% in this set. It can flag where a current market index sits below or above that standard, but it cannot establish that an identically configured unit is affordable, available, or program-eligible. Avoid blending any of these measures into one market-rent figure.
Affordability pressure and availability also require separate readings. Within the selected set, 60517’s $1,718 ZORI coincides with a 50.0% ACS rent-burden share, while 60532 has a $1,939 ZORI and a 34.9% burden share. Because the current Zillow index and ACS five-year burden estimate do not share timing or construction, this contrast does not explain the difference; it warns only that a lower index is not a guarantee of lower measured burden. ACS vacancy estimates range from 3.2% to 7.4%. A higher survey vacancy rate may be a reason to check current listings, but it neither confirms a live vacant unit nor establishes concessions, lease availability, or future rent direction. Use burden to gauge payment pressure and vacancy as a separate availability condition to verify.
Coverage and geography set firm boundaries. The direct set represents 56,899 renter households but consists of 12 of 28 eligible matched ZIP/ZCTA records, so it is not exhaustive. Census ZCTAs are statistical areas, not USPS delivery ZIPs. ZIPs crossing county boundaries are displayed here in the county with the largest HUD residential-address share; this assignment does not mean every address lies in DuPage County. Before acting, check the property’s precise address and delivery ZIP, county placement, live advertised rent, utilities and other recurring charges, bedroom count, lease duration, availability date, and the applicable HUD program and standard. These unit-level checks are necessary before comparing a listing with any index, survey estimate, or FMR.
