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 22033. They are kept separate from Zillow asking rent, Census occupied-home rent and wider metro measures.

East Baton Rouge Parish has a carry-income versus exit-and-risk tension. In Zillow’s 2026-06 county reading, the $236,271 median home value and $1,386 monthly median asking rent support the supplied 7.04% gross yield before operating costs. Income-focused buyers who can validate flood insurance, condition and lease economics should investigate; buyers dependent on a rapid resale or untested rent should be cautious. This is county-level screening, not a property outcome.
Zillow’s value rose 0.45% year over year and asking rent 2.89%, consistent with the stated gross yield but not net cash flow. HUD’s $1,204 two-bedroom Fair Market Rent is a payment standard, not asking-rent evidence, and cannot replace the measured market rent. The effective property-tax rate is 0.67%; insurance, flood mitigation, maintenance, vacancy, financing and utilities are not published, preventing a net-yield conclusion. FHFA’s 2025 repeat-transaction HPI rose 2.93% annually. Its different vintage and method can confirm Zillow’s direction, but it is not a home value or a rate to combine with Zillow.
Realtor.com’s MLS listing-market evidence shows seller concessions and a potentially measured exit: active listings declined year over year and 20.88% carried price reductions. These are visible supply and asking-price measures, not closed-sale prices or standalone proof of buyer demand. Net migration was negative by 1,592 tax-return households, while outgoing movers’ average income exceeded incoming movers’ by $7,148. In 2025, QCEW annual covered jobs at county workplaces edged lower while covered-worker wages rose; Education and health services was the largest disclosed private supersector. Investors represented 11.84% of the supplied purchase-mortgage set, a defined buyer segment rather than all transactions.
Inland flood is the dominant hazard; modeled climate loss is 0.16% of building value per year, but this does not identify parcel elevation, premiums, prior losses or mitigation. Missing closed-sale comparables, property-level rent rolls and expenses, vacancy, insurance quotes, flood-zone status, debt terms and submarket detail prevent conclusions on resale, net operating income, debt coverage and asset-specific flood exposure. Next checks are parcel flood history and insurance, current lease and sale comparables, and target-asset expenses and taxes.
This view uses 11 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.
In the 11 selected direct-evidence ZIP observations assigned to East Baton Rouge Parish, Zillow’s June 2026 ZORI asking-rent index spans $942 to $1,852, a $910 spread. The selected-set median is $1,385, essentially matching the parish’s $1,386 Zillow figure, but that midpoint masks a wide choice set. ZIP 70815 anchors the low end and ZIP 70820 the high end. The practical screening question is therefore not whether an advertised unit matches one parishwide rent number, but whether its current ask, bedroom count, recurring charges, and household income fit the renter’s own budget within this observed range. ZORI is an index of typical observed asking rents, so it should frame initial market comparison rather than substitute for a quote on a specific available unit.
HUD supplies a different benchmark: the parish’s $1,204 two-bedroom Fair Market Rent standard. The high ZORI observation is 53.8% above that administrative standard, while the low observation is 21.8% below it; neither comparison makes FMR an asking-rent estimate. Separately, ACS five-year ZCTA survey estimates show median gross rent from $834 to $1,439 in the displayed areas, against a parish ACS median of $1,147. Gross rent and ZORI answer different questions—surveyed renter-paid gross rent versus a typical current asking-rent index—and their gap is not a direct price-change measure. Use each series independently: ZORI to screen current listings, ACS to describe resident rent conditions, and HUD’s bedroom-specific standard for administrative comparisons.
Affordability pressure does not simply track the lowest current ZORI. The displayed ACS shares of renter households spending 30% or more of income on rent range from 45.5% to 66.8%, compared with 56.8% parishwide. ZIP 70817 combines the range-high 66.8% burden share with the range-low 3.6% vacancy rate, while ZIP 70802 has the range-high 27.8% vacancy rate and a 69.1% renter share. These are separate ACS survey indicators, not proof that one condition causes the other. For a renter, the trade-off is concrete: lower asking-rent screens may still coincide with substantial burden among existing renters, and a higher vacancy rate is not a guarantee of a qualifying available unit or lower asking rent. Evaluate availability and affordability together, but do not use either measure as a property-level outcome.
The coverage and geography boundaries matter. This is a selected, non-exhaustive direct-ZORI set covering 61,296 renter households, not a complete inventory of parish ZIPs or rental listings. Census ZCTAs used for ACS are statistical areas rather than USPS delivery ZIPs; ZIPs that cross county lines are assigned here by their largest HUD residential-address share, which ranges from 99.7% to 100.0% in the displayed set. Before acting on any comparison, verify the property address and county, live asking rent, exact bedroom count, utility treatment, mandatory fees, deposit, lease term, availability date, income rules, and any program eligibility. Those listing-specific checks determine the actual payment and qualification outcome, which none of the three area-level series can establish.

No. It is before operating costs, while insurance, maintenance, vacancy, financing, utilities and other property expenses are not published.
No. The record identifies it as a two-bedroom payment standard, separate from the measured median asking-rent figure.
It establishes MLS listing-market conditions, including visible supply and seller price reductions; it does not provide closed-sale prices or prove buyer demand by itself.
