The latest county-level Zillow ZORI is $1,951 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 24033. They are kept separate from Zillow asking rent, Census occupied-home rent and wider metro measures.

Prince George’s County’s decision tension is a gross-rent return against softer visible listing-market conditions and carrying-cost exposure. Investors considering rentals should investigate property-level cash flow, while buyers relying on resale should be cautious. In Zillow’s June 2026 county observation, median home value was $433,813 and median asking rent was $1,951 per month, producing a 5.4% gross yield before costs. Zillow value was down 0.65% year over year, whereas FHFA’s 2025 annual repeat-transaction HPI rose 2.82%; those are different vintages and methods, so they cannot be combined.
Measured asking rent is distinct from HUD’s two-bedroom FMR of $2,246 per month, which is a payment standard rather than an asking-rent estimate or a replacement yield input. The 1.12% effective property-tax rate is a material carrying-cost screen alongside gross yield, but net yield cannot be underwritten: insurance costs, operating expenses, financing terms, vacancy, and property condition are not published.
June 2026 Realtor.com MLS evidence points to more visible choice, not closed-sale pricing or proved buyer demand: 1,986 active listings were 19.11% higher year over year, while marketing time and price-reduced share also rose. Migration adds caution: 4,517 more tax-return households moved out than in, and average income was $59,528 for movers in versus $63,490 for movers out. Non-occupants accounted for 663 of 9,291 purchase mortgages, or 7.14%, showing competition but not dominance. QCEW’s 2025 annual workplace series showed lower covered employment and higher wages; trade, transportation, and utilities was the largest disclosed private supersector, not the entire economy.
Inland flood is the dominant hazard, and the modeled annual building-value loss ratio is 0.06%; it should be tested against parcel flood exposure and insurance quotes rather than converted into a dollar loss. County-level evidence cannot establish neighborhood rent durability, replacement cost, tenant quality, lease-up, or actual sales execution. Next checks are comparable asking rents and concessions by unit type, tax and insurance bills for the parcel, flood zone and claims history, and renovation scope. The thesis can fail if visible supply weakens pricing, out-migration concentrates among higher-income households, or flood costs outrun gross-rent capacity.
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 selected direct-evidence set, Zillow's June 2026 ZORI, a typical observed asking-rent index, spans $1,563 to $2,127 per month: a $564 spread around a $1,896 median. The immediate decision question is whether a household's unit-specific budget and bedroom needs can be met near the lower, middle, or upper part of this range. That spread warrants comparing live unit quotes rather than assuming a single county figure describes every part of the search. ZIP 20747 anchors the low end, and ZIP 20740 the high end. Year-over-year ZORI change ranges from -0.7% to 6.7%, versus 1.8% countywide; those movements record asking-rent index change, not a forecast or a promise for an individual listing.
The rent series should remain separate. Zillow ZORI is a typical observed asking-rent index, whereas ACS five-year ZCTA median gross rent is a survey estimate: the selected ZCTA values run from $1,609 to $1,879, against a county ACS median of $1,799. HUD's FY 2026 two-bedroom FMR is instead an administrative standard and ranges from $1,760 to $2,400. It can frame administrative or screening context, but it does not describe the prevailing price of a currently listed unit. The direct ZORI-to-HUD ratio runs from 74.1% to 110.1%, useful as a screening reference but not as a merged rent measure: ZORI is not a two-bedroom unit quote, and FMR is not an asking rent.
Affordability and availability do not produce a simple hierarchy. ACS shares of renter households paying at least 30% of income for rent range from 43.6% to 56.7%, versus 53.0% countywide, while ACS vacancy estimates span 3.9% to 10.6%. Thus, a higher vacancy estimate should not be read as current advertised inventory or proof of lower rents. Using Zillow's direct index only for a 30% payment screen, annual income required runs from $62,520 to $85,080. That threshold is a budget test, not an ACS income or burden result; household-specific income, unit size, and non-rent charges still govern feasibility.
Coverage and geography constrain any conclusion. The display includes 12 selected eligible direct ZORI ZIP/ZCTA matches, representing 85,565 renter households, and it is not an exhaustive inventory of the county. ZIPs can cross county boundaries and are displayed here under the HUD residential-address crosswalk's largest-share county assignment; Census ZCTAs are statistical areas rather than USPS delivery ZIPs. Before choosing a property, verify its precise delivery geography, bedroom count, live asking rent, concessions and expiration dates, availability, utilities and recurring fees, lease term, and any income or occupancy requirements.

No. It is annual market rent before costs, and operating expenses, insurance, financing, vacancy, and property condition are not published.
No. HUD FMR is a two-bedroom payment standard; the record separately provides measured median asking rent.
QCEW measures annual average covered jobs at workplaces in the county, not resident employment, unemployment, or a forecast.
