The FY 2023 Fair Market Rents for Knox County, ME are based on the results of a local rent survey conducted in January, 2021.

The locally conducted survey is more current than the available ACS data. Therefore HUD calculates the locally based survey 2-bedroom FMR using the following steps:

  1. The local survey is adjusted to 2021 dollars by multiplying the survey rent value for 2021 by the annual CPI-based Gross Rent value for 2021 divided by the CPI-based Gross Rent value for January, 2021. This calculation is:

    $963 * (258.838/262.2) =

    $951

  2. The annually adjusted survey value of $951 is augmented by the growth in gross rents from the Northeast Census region measured between 2021 and 2022. This calculation is:

    $951 * 1.0390   =

    $988

  3. The CPI adjusted survey value of $988 is trended forward to the mid-point of FY2023 using the Northeast Census region trend factor of 1.1165. This calculation is:

    $988 * 1.1165   =

    $1,103
