Elko County, is in and is assigned the Efficiency FMR for that area. The Efficiency FMR for is computed as a function of the ratio of the 2010 5-Year Efficiency American Community Survey Rent to the 2010 5-Year 2-Bedroom American Community Survey Rent. This Efficiency Rent Ratio is applied to the Final FY 2014 2-Bedroom FMR to determine the Efficiency FMR.
The tables below provide the relevant steps for computing the Final FY 2014 Efficiency FMR:
Check the Margin of Error Ratios for . If either Margin of Error Ratio is greater than 1 or if there is not sufficient data to calculate the ratio, then the bedroom ratio is determined using data for the smallest geographic area encompassing for which there is acceptable data.

The smallest geographic area for which both Margin of Error Ratios can be computed and are less than 1 is $statename$.
The Preliminary Efficiency Rent Ratio for is caluclated by dividing the 2006-2010 5-Year ACS Efficiency Adjusted Standard Quality Rent Estimate for $statename$ by the 2006-2010 5-Year ACS 2-Bedroom Adjusted Standard Quality Rent Estimate for $statename$.

The Preliminary Efficiency Rent Ratio is checked against the caps and floors for that bedroom size. The floor is set at the 10th percentile of the national distribution of geographic areas with at least 100 2006-2010 5-Year ACS Adjusted Standard Quality observations, while the cap is set at the 90th percentile of the same distribution.

In order to ensure that Efficiency Fair Market Rents are not greater than the corresponding 1-Bedroom Fair Market Rent, the Efficiency Rent Ratio must be at least 0.005 less than the corresponding 1-Bedroom Rent Ratio.
