NOTE: Kings County is part of the New York, NY HUD Metro FMR Area, so all information presented here applies to all of the New York, NY HUD Metro FMR Area. The New York, NY HUD Metro FMR Area contains the following areas:
The New York, NY HUD Metro FMR Area is comprised of the following counties: Bronx County, New York; Kings County, New York; New York County, New York; Putnam County, New York; Queens County, New York; Richmond County, New York; Rockland County**, New York; and Westchester County**, New York.
**Although Rockland and Westchester Counties are provided separate estimates of Median Family Income by statute, the data for Rockland and Westchester Counties are used in computing the estimate of MFI of the New York, NY HUD Metro FMR Areas and the New York, NY PMSA as is also required by statute.
* The FY 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act changed the definition of extremely low-income to be the greater of 30/50ths (60 percent) of the Section 8 very low-income limit or the poverty guideline as established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), provided that this amount is not greater than the Section 8 50% very low-income limit. Consequently, the extremely low income limits may equal the very low (50%) income limits.
Income Limit areas are based on FY 2017 Fair Market Rent (FMR) areas. For information on FMRs, please see our associated FY 2017 Fair Market Rent documentation system.
