The latest county-level Zillow ZORI is $3,808 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 36047. They are kept separate from Zillow asking rent, Census occupied-home rent and wider metro measures.

Kings County is a high-entry-price, modest-pre-cost-yield case: investors able to verify asset-level expenses and flood exposure should investigate, while buyers needing a wider current cash-flow cushion should be cautious. In Zillow’s 2026-06 county observation, median home value was $957,100 and median asking rent was $3,808 per month, producing the supplied 4.77% gross yield before costs. The rent measure is market asking rent; HUD’s two-bedroom Fair Market Rent is a payment standard, not an estimate of county asking rent.
That Zillow home-value measure increased 4.50% year over year. FHFA’s repeat-transaction HPI increased 4.63% in annual 2025 and 20.13% cumulatively in its supplied multiyear measure; it is an index, not a home value. Both point upward, but their methods and labeled periods differ, so they cannot be blended. Carrying-cost pressure matters: the effective property-tax rate was 0.71%, with median annual tax of $6,382. Modeled climate loss was 0.08% of building value annually, consistent with inland flood as the dominant hazard; neither figure establishes a property’s actual insurance cost.
County demand evidence does not resolve tenant demand. QCEW’s annual average recorded 924,149 covered jobs at county workplaces, up 0.05%. Education and health services was the largest disclosed private supersector; QCEW is neither resident employment nor a forecast. Tax-return migration showed a net outflow of 10,785 households, while incoming movers’ average AGI exceeded outgoing movers’ by $2,792. Non-occupant purchase mortgages represented 17.88% of purchases, signaling investor participation but not total buyer demand.
Underwriting should not turn county measures into a building conclusion. Realtor.com MLS listing-market figures—asking price, active listings, marketing time, reductions and pending-to-active ratio—are not published here, preventing a visible-supply or seller-concession read; they would not be closed-sale evidence anyway. Missing vacancy, lease terms, operating expenses, insurance quotes, flood-zone and elevation details, financing, and property condition prevent net-yield and resilience conclusions. Next checks are property-level tax bills, insurance and flood requirements, comparable signed leases, and MLS supply.
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.
The selected direct-evidence ZIP/ZCTA matches show a wide asking-rent decision range rather than a single local level. Zillow’s June 2026 ZORI, a typical observed asking-rent index, runs from $2,657 to $4,960; the $2,303 spread around a $3,187 selected-set median is material for a search budget. The county ZORI is $3,808, above that selected-set median, but it should not be treated as a listing quote. A renter deciding among these areas should first determine whether the target unit’s asking rent sits near the low, middle, or high end of this observed range, then test what is included and available at that price. That framing avoids treating the median as a quote.
The three rent measures answer different questions and should remain separate. Zillow gives current observed asking-rent indexing: within the selected set, rents are 1.02 to 1.90 times the uniform $2,616 ZIP-level FY2026 HUD two-bedroom standard. HUD’s standard is administrative and bedroom-specific, not an asking-rent estimate; the county two-bedroom FMR is $2,910. ACS 2024 five-year ZCTA median gross rent is a survey measure of occupied-renter costs, ranging from $1,294 to $3,358 here, versus $1,833 countywide. These distinct ACS values do not establish a discount relative to a current Zillow index, because timing, unit mix, and measure differ.
Affordability pressure and vacancy do not point to one simple ranking. In the ACS estimates, the share of renter households paying 30% or more of income for rent ranges from 38.4% in 11201 to 59.9% in 11235, against 50.8% countywide. Estimated vacancy ranges from 3.0% in 11206 to 12.4% in 11226, compared with 8.25% countywide. The low-vacancy endpoint also has a 50.0% burden share, while the high-vacancy endpoint has 48.3%; neither statistic proves availability, affordability for a particular household, or a causal relationship. Treat burden as a household-cost signal and vacancy as a separate ACS stock measure, then check live unit supply.
The evidence is a selected, not exhaustive, crosswalked set: 12 shown direct-ZORI ZIP/ZCTA matches were chosen from 37 eligible matches and cover 312,090 renter households. ZIPs are assigned to Kings County by the largest HUD residential-address share; a ZIP can cross county lines, and a Census ZCTA is a statistical area rather than the same thing as a USPS delivery ZIP. These figures therefore support comparison within this displayed evidence, not a complete county inventory. Before acting on any area-level signal, verify a property’s active asking rent, bedroom count, lease term, concessions, utilities and recurring fees, deposits, eligibility rules, and current availability.

Yes. It publishes median asking rent separately from HUD two-bedroom Fair Market Rent, which is a payment standard.
It is annual covered employment at workplaces in the county, not resident employment or an unemployment measure.
No. Realtor.com listing price, active listings, days on market, reductions, and pending-to-active figures are not published.
