At the June 2026 endpoint, Zillow’s ZIP-level ZORI for 33021 was $2,288 per month, up 1.2% from the same month a year earlier. This is a typical observed asking-rent index blended across rental types, not a quoted rent for every available home. The modest current increase is the immediate rental signal, but it sits beside a much faster movement in ZIP resale prices and a household-income screen that is tighter than the area’s median income. That combination makes source discipline important: the current asking-rent index is useful for market direction, yet it does not resolve what a particular unit will ask or what costs a lease includes.
The five-digit label 33021 is both Zillow’s ZIP market identifier and a Census ZCTA match; a ZCTA is a statistical area and is not identical to a USPS delivery ZIP. In the ACS 2024 five-year survey, median gross rent among occupied renter homes was $1,775, including selected utilities. That survey median is 28.9% below the current Zillow asking-rent index, a difference that is consistent with their different populations and measurement methods rather than a direct contradiction. HUD’s FY2026 administrative two-bedroom standard is $2,333, and ZIP ZORI equals 98.1% of that standard. HUD FMR or SAFMR is bedroom-specific administrative guidance, not an asking-rent observation.
The bedroom figures are modelled estimates created by scaling ZIP ZORI through the local HUD bedroom ladder; they are not measured bedroom rents. The resulting monthly estimates are $1,754 for a studio, $1,864 for one bedroom, $2,288 for two bedrooms, $3,067 for three bedrooms, and $3,543 for four bedrooms. Their value is internal consistency with the local HUD size relationship, not proof that a listed apartment or house at any size will command that amount. Unit type, included utilities, lease terms, physical condition, and the actual bedroom count remain unobserved in this ladder.
Applying a 30% rent-to-income calculation to the current ZIP asking-rent index produces required annual household income of $91,520. That exceeds the ZCTA median household income of $71,318, and the implied asking-rent-to-income screen is 38.5%. This is arithmetic, not advice and not an applicant qualification rule. The ACS renter-household burden measure adds a separate survey perspective: 4,144 of 6,358 renter households, or 65.2%, reported paying at least 30% of income toward gross rent. That burden result concerns surveyed occupied renter homes and cannot establish affordability, payment history, or rent burden for a particular available unit.
Housing-stock context also comes from the matched ZCTA rather than from current rental listings. The area contained 22,003 housing units, with a 10.0% vacancy rate. Its stock included 11,574 single-family units and 6,982 large multifamily units, while renter households represented 32.1% of occupied homes. These aggregates indicate that both single-family and larger multifamily structures are material parts of the local stock, but they do not identify the rental types contributing to ZORI. Likewise, aggregate vacancy is not evidence that a specific dwelling is available, vacant for rent, competitively priced, or suitable for a given household.
Broader rent context is higher than the ZIP index: Hollywood city-context asking rent is $2,375, Broward County context asking rent is $2,517, and the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach metro-context asking rent is $2,695. Each is a wider geographic comparison, not a substitute ZIP rental comp. The ZIP’s lower current ZORI may help frame its position within those larger measures, but it should not be used to infer why the difference exists or whether the gap will persist. City, county, and metro values describe their own broader evidence universes, each with housing mixes and renter populations different from the ZIP market identifier.
The rent-history record is backward-looking rather than a forecast or investment recommendation. Same-month annualized ZORI change was 1.2% over one year, 1.1% over three years, and 6.2% over five years. Recent direction therefore preserves a positive rent path in sign but breaks from the much faster pace embedded in the longer five-year record. The series had complete history coverage, with annualized monthly-return variability of 3.0%, which supports more confidence in continuity of the index than a sparse record would. Its deepest historical peak-to-trough drawdown was 1.8%, showing limited measured decline within this history. Transparent national discovery ranks were 1,905 for momentum, 1,590 for stability, and 2,035 for the balanced measure; lower rank is higher. These ranks organize historical signals, not future outcomes.
Redfin’s direct rolling-three-month ZIP resale observation belongs solely to the for-sale market. Median sold price was $509,885, up 15.9% year over year, with 192 homes sold and a median 76 days on market. Inventory was 410 homes, months of supply were 6.5, the average sale-to-list ratio was 95.7%, and 9.1% of sales closed above list price. The resale price increase confirms positive direction in a separate market, but the slower ZORI increase plus supply and below-list average sale signals challenge any simple linkage between resale momentum and current asking rents. Annualized ZIP ZORI divided by median sold price is 5.4%, solely a cross-source screening ratio. Relevant property-level checks include current matched-bedroom asking rents, lease utility treatment, concessions, condition, exact unit characteristics, and address-specific sale and listing records.
