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 17089. They are kept separate from Zillow asking rent, Census occupied-home rent and wider metro measures.

Kane County's tension is a usable gross-income screen against carrying costs and property-specific flood exposure. Investors prepared to verify taxes, insurance, flood history and submarket rents should investigate; those relying on appreciation or county averages should be cautious. Zillow's 2026-06 county median home value was $388,625, up 4.27% year over year. FHFA's 2025 repeat-transaction HPI rose 5.75% year over year. They agree on direction, but the index is not a home value and their distinct vintages and methods cannot be combined into one growth rate.
Reported median asking rent is $2,123 per month and supplied gross yield is 6.56% before costs. This is measured market asking rent. HUD's $1,781 two-bedroom FMR is a payment standard, not an asking-rent estimate, and cannot substitute for rent or yield. The effective property-tax rate is 2.26%, with median annual tax of $7,382, making tax verification central to the carry-cost screen. Missing property-level assessments, insurance, maintenance, vacancy and financing data prevent a net-yield or debt-service conclusion.
Realtor.com's 2026-06 MLS listing-market evidence shows 598 active listings; 10.63% carried a price reduction, and pending listings equaled 146.99% of active listings. These measure visible supply, seller concessions and listing status, not closed-sale prices or buyer demand by themselves. Tax-return migration was net outward, with lower average income among entrants than leavers, so tenant and buyer depth needs segment-level testing. Investor mortgages represented 388 of 6,076 purchases, or 6.39%; this identifies a minority buyer channel but does not establish bidding pressure for a particular asset.
Modeled annual climate loss equals 0.11% of building value and aligns with inland flood as the dominant hazard; it is not a property-specific loss estimate. QCEW shows a slight decline in annual covered employment at county workplaces while average weekly covered-worker wages rose; Trade, transportation, and utilities was the largest disclosed private supersector. QCEW is neither resident employment nor a forecast. Next checks are parcel flood exposure, prior losses, insurance terms, tax bill, rent comps and closed-sale comps; without them, county evidence cannot validate net income or exit pricing.

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.

No. The record identifies FMR as a payment standard and separately publishes measured median asking rent.
No. Its Realtor.com evidence is MLS listing-market data rather than closed-sale evidence or proof of buyer demand.
