The distributions behind the update factor calculations for use the ACS data compiled for the . The following distribution demonstrations will be the same for all areas using ACS data.
The standard quality Recent Mover Gross Rents that HUD uses in generating FMRs are derived from rent distributions
that are prohibited from public release under Title XIII to protect the
confidentiality of respondents. The distributions used in this demonstration
are rounded versions of the actual, protected data.
The rounding scheme is as follows:
0, count = 0
1 to 7, count = 4
all other counts are rounded to the nearest 5 (e.g., 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.)
Calculations using the rounded data may not produce the same result as calculations
using the protected data. The difference between HUD's actual results and those
demonstrated here is inversely related to the size of the area. That is,
the larger the area, the closer the calculation based on the
rounded data is likely to be to the Census base rent computed from the protected data.
"Standard Quality" units and rents are determined by limiting the
full ACS sample by including only responses meeting the following criteria:
a. Occupied rental units paying cash rent
b. Specified renter ? on 10 acres or less
c. With full plumbing
d. With full kitchen
e. Not constructed in the last 2 years from the survey date
f. Meals not included in rent
The 2013 ACS did not included a question that could be used to filter public or assisted housing from the rental distributions, however HUD is required to ensure that FMRs exclude non-market rental housing in their computation. Therefore, HUD excludes all units falling below a specified rent level determined from public housing rents in HUD's program databases as likely to be either assisted housing or otherwise at a below-market rent (perhaps due to quality problems not otherwise captured by the survey questions).
The "public housing" rent cut-off for in 2013 is .

The Public Housing Rent level of falls on the low end of a rent distribution cell, so all units in this cell are counted as standard quality units having rents above the Public Housing rent level.
In , the 40th percentile standard quality Recent Mover Gross Rent falls within an empty distribution cell so the 40th percentile standard quality Recent Mover Gross Rent is computed as the average of the lower limit of the empty cell ($0) and the lower limit of the next cell containing data ($100) rounded to the nearest dollar. That is:
50th percentile standard quality Recent Mover Gross Rent = ($0 + $100 / 2 = $50.

The difference between the actual 2013 ACS Standard Quality Recent Mover Gross Rent of and the demonstration 2013 ACS Standard Quality Recent Mover Gross Rent of $50 computed here is due to differences in the public housing cutoff across state lines. The actual 2013 ACS Standard Quality Recent Mover Gross Rent of will be used.
