Why a separate site for rural housing data?
Every Fair Market Rent and income-limit page on the major apartment sites is built for someone moving inside a metro area. Search for "affordable housing Lincoln County" or "Section 8 income limits rural Iowa" and you'll get either a Zillow listings page that doesn't cover your county at all, or a HUD report PDF written for housing professionals — not for someone trying to figure out whether their family qualifies and which phone number to call. Housing Data Hub is the in-between: a plain-English page for every U.S. county and the small towns inside it, built so the actual numbers and the actual phone number are visible without scrolling, downloading, or signing up.

The data on every page comes from three federal datasets we re-publish in a more readable form: the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Fair Market Rent dataset, HUD's annual Income Limits dataset, and the HUD Public Housing Agency contact directory. Geographic boundaries (which town is in which county, where each town actually sits on the map) come from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2023 TIGER/Line gazetteer and the official 2020 place-to-county relationship file.
