Sources and methodology

Listings

Range Lab Rental Search Tool, observed Sept 30, 2026. Live tracking began Sept 26, 2026, so no rent or inventory trends are shown.

Affordable at 50% / 30% AMI

Asking rent at or below 30% of the HUD FY2026 very-low / extremely-low income limit for the unit size, at 1.5 people per bedroom. Listings without a usable rent are excluded, and so are prices that are not for a whole unit: 46 per-bed student leases and 24 RV or home-lot spaces listed as homes (15,344 active → 14,981 priced).

Renter households by income

HUD CHAS 2018–2022, older than the listings. The per-100 figure is a scale, not a queue.

Vouchers and FMR

Voucher households: HUD Picture of Subsidized Households 2025. Fair Market Rents: HUD FY2026.

Wages and paid rent

BLS QCEW average weekly wage, Q1 2026, all covered jobs (an average, not household income). Census ACS median gross rent 2020–2024, includes utilities; the asking-vs-paid comparison is directional.

Small samples

Counties with fewer than 30 priced listings (Lake 7, Morrow 7, Baker 12, Malheur 17, Curry 22, Wallowa 9, Grant 3, Sherman 2) are shown but not ranked. Coastal 2-bedroom medians rest on 10–61 listings.
