Each year HUD publishes a Fair Market Rent for every metro area and rural county: an estimate of the 40th percentile gross rent, meaning rent plus basic utilities, for a standard-quality home of each size. This report shows the fiscal 2027 figures for Arizona, averaged across the state by population, and how they changed from fiscal 2026.

What these numbers mean

  • Gross rent. A Fair Market Rent includes rent plus basic utilities, so it can run higher than a lease's base rent when the renter pays utilities separately.
  • A program benchmark. HUD uses Fair Market Rents to set payment standards for the Housing Choice Voucher program and limits for other housing programs. They are estimates, not appraisals or current listing prices.
  • One figure per area. HUD sets one figure for each metro area and each rural county. Rents for a particular home depend on its location, size, condition and amenities.
  • Fiscal years. HUD's fiscal year starts on October 1, so fiscal 2027 figures generally apply from October 1, 2026.

How this report is built

The metro rows show HUD's published figures. Statewide and rural averages weight each county or town by its population in HUD's fiscal 2027 file, and the change compares the same counties with the same weights in both years. Sources: HUD Fair Market Rents, FY26_FMRs_revised.xlsx, FY27_FMRs.xlsx.
