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 29095. They are kept separate from Zillow asking rent, Census occupied-home rent and wider metro measures.

Jackson County’s decision tension is a measurable income case against operating and exit-risk checks: published rent yield contrasts with MLS concessions, workplace employment softness, and inland-flood exposure. Investors able to verify rent, tax, insurance, and flood conditions should investigate; those relying on easy resale or countywide averages should be cautious. Zillow’s county median home value rose to $252,636 in 2026-06. FHFA’s 2025 HPI also rose, by 3.15%, but it is a repeat-transaction index, not a value; the distinct vintages and methods cannot be blended.
Median asking market rent is $1,434 per month, rising 3.77% year over year; the supplied 6.81% gross yield is before expenses. HUD’s two-bedroom $1,358 Fair Market Rent is a payment standard, not an estimate of asking rent or a yield input. The 1.12% effective property-tax rate is a carrying-cost consideration alongside the price-rent relationship. Insurance, maintenance, vacancy, and other operating costs are not published, preventing a net-yield calculation.
At the matching Realtor.com listing vintage, median MLS listing price was essentially flat, active supply was lower, marketing time shortened, and price reductions were present. This is visible asking-market supply, concessions, and marketing time—not a closed-sale price or proof of buyer demand. Tax-return households produced net migration of 644, yet incoming movers’ average AGI was $4,222 below outgoing movers’. Investor purchases were 1,358 of 9,886 purchase mortgages, or 13.74%, indicating non-owner participation within the recorded purchase pool rather than all transactions. Annual QCEW covered workplace employment declined while average weekly wage increased; Education and health services is the largest disclosed private supersector, not the whole economy.
The modeled climate loss ratio is 0.11% of building value per year, alongside inland flood as the dominant hazard. It is a county-level model, not a property flood determination. Address-level flood mapping, prior claims, drainage condition, and insurance quotes are the next checks because they determine whether modeled risk translates into a specific carrying cost. Closed-sale comparables, vacancy, operating expenses, lease-level rent comparables, and debt terms are not published; their absence prevents conclusions on net yield, resale value, or debt coverage.
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 the displayed direct-evidence ZIP/ZCTA set, Zillow’s June 2026 ZORI—a typical observed asking-rent index—runs from $1,218 in 64052 to $1,790 in 64106. This $572 range makes local screening more useful than a single county figure. The selected-set median is $1,383.50, below Jackson County’s $1,434 ZORI. The decision question is not which ZIP is universally preferable; it is whether a prospective unit’s current price, bedroom count, and terms fit a household’s budget and search needs, recognizing that the index represents a typical asking-rent signal rather than every listing.
Zillow, ACS, and HUD should be read side by side, not blended. ACS 2024 five-year ZCTA median gross rents in the displayed records span $928 to $1,308; these are survey estimates of a different measure and period, not current listings. HUD’s bedroom-specific FMR is an administrative standard: it is $1,358 at the county level and $1,050 to $1,580 among the displayed ZIP assignments. The supplied ZORI-to-HUD comparisons range from 84.9% to 125.9%. Those percentages describe the relation between distinct benchmarks; they do not make FMR an observed asking rent or ACS gross rent a substitute for ZORI.
Affordability pressure and vacancy require separate caution. The county’s ACS rent-burden share is 50.7%, alongside an 8.8% housing vacancy rate. In the selected ZIP/ZCTA estimates, burden ranges from 38.7% to 61.7%, while vacancy ranges from 5.8% to 19.2%. At the high-vacancy end of the displayed range, 64130 also has a 51.0% burden share. Its $1,369 ZORI implies $54,760 of annual income under a 30% screen, versus a $42,221 ACS median household income. That contrast is a directional budget screen only: median income does not describe a renter’s income, and an area vacancy estimate neither identifies an available unit nor determines a tenant’s burden.
Geography and selection limit how far these comparisons travel. ACS ZIP figures are ZCTA five-year survey estimates, and ZCTAs are not USPS delivery ZIPs. A ZIP may cross county lines; the packet places each displayed ZIP in Jackson County using the largest HUD residential-address share rather than a property-level county determination. The direct-evidence selection is not an exhaustive county or listing inventory, so it cannot establish a full county ranking. For any property, verify the street address and county, listed asking price, bedroom count, utilities and fees, lease length, move-in availability, qualification rules, and the applicable HUD standard directly from current property and program materials.

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.

Yes. The record publishes median asking market rent and separately identifies HUD Fair Market Rent as a payment standard.
No. It covers MLS listing price, visible supply, marketing time, and price reductions rather than closed sales or buyer demand.
It is annual covered employment at workplaces located in Jackson County, not resident employment or an unemployment measure.
