Douglas County, OR
Oregon's 36 county records carry 31 distinct two-bedroom Fair Market Rents, and $1,271 belongs to this one alone. The state ranking below is therefore close to a list of individual figures rather than a list of ties.

A state where the ranking separates rather than collapses
- Applicable HUD 2BR FMR
- $1,271
- Median 2BR FMR across county records in OR
- $1,393
- Difference
- -$122
- Difference (%)
- -8.7%
- Rank in state
- 22 of 36
The two-bedroom Fair Market Rent applicable to Douglas County is below the state median for OR. It ranks 22 of 36 county records by 2BR FMR.
Rank 1 is the highest 2BR FMR in the state, and county records with an identical rent share a rank. “Approximately at the state median” means within 2% of it. The median is taken across the 36 county records published for OR — it is not weighted by households or population, and it is not a median over unique HUD areas, so a HUD area covering several counties counts once per county record.
One of 31 figures for 36 counties
Oregon holds 36 county records here and they carry 31 distinct two-bedroom Fair Market Rents and 31 distinct area median family incomes. This county is the only Oregon record publishing $1,271. Corpus-wide the figure is rare too: 5 records carry it in total.
With 31 distinct figures across 36 records, a rent rank in Oregon separates this county from almost every other in the state rather than placing it inside a group publishing the same number.

- Annualized 2BR FMR as a share of HUD Median Family Income

12 × $1,271
This is a ratio between two HUD benchmarks for the Douglas County, OR area: the annualized two-bedroom Fair Market Rent divided by HUD Median Family Income. It is not a measured rent burden, not the share of income any particular family spends on housing, and not an affordability or eligibility determination.

Rent and income sit in different halves of the table
The two-bedroom rent of $1,271 ranks 2,156th of the 4,764 records on this site — the upper half. The area median family income of $76,600 ranks 3,804th — the lowest quarter. The benchmark that follows from setting one against the other, 19.91%, ranks 669th, and 7th among Oregon's 36 counties.
Pairings like that are a minority but not a curiosity: 480 records combine a two-bedroom rent in the upper half of the table with an area median family income in the lower half. What it means on this page is that the rent figure and the income figure point in opposite directions, and a reader who takes either one on its own will place this county in the wrong part of the table.

Purchasing power decision engine
Decision snapshot (server-rendered)
Baseline: HUD Median Family Income adjusted from 2025-07 to 2026-07 using embedded CPI-U monthly series.
- Adjusted income is near the local median and/or purchasing power decreased materially.
- This suggests moderate affordability risk under CPI-U adjustment assumptions.
Purchasing power decision tool (CPI-U monthly)
This module converts an annual income from 2025-07 into its 2026-07 equivalent using the CPI-U series, then compares it to the HUD Median Family Income for Douglas County, OR.
The baseline is HUD's Median Family Income for the HUD area, not a Census median household income. The CPI-U series is the official BLS CUUR0000SA0 index, unadjusted; months BLS did not publish are left out rather than interpolated.
HUD Median Family Income (annual): $76,600
Decision output
- Adjusted income is near the local median and/or purchasing power decreased materially.
- This suggests moderate affordability risk under CPI-U adjustment assumptions.
Methodology & assumptions (v1.0)
Adjusted income is computed as Income × CPI(to) / CPI(from) using CPI-U monthly index values embedded in this page.
- CPI-U is an aggregate price index for urban consumers; individual consumption patterns may differ.
- No interpolation is applied; both selected months must exist in the dataset.
- HUD Median Family Income is treated as the annual reference benchmark for the applicable HUD area, compared to adjusted annual income.
- This module performs a historical transformation, not a forecast.

Sources & methodology
HUD income limits and Fair Market Rents are taken from the fiscal-year tables HUD publishes per HUD-defined area — which can include more than one county — and joined to this county record. State comparisons are computed across the 2BR Fair Market Rents of the county records in the same state; the median uses the middle value and is not weighted by households or population, rank 1 is the highest rent in the state, and county records with identical rents share a rank.
The income figure used throughout this page is HUD's Median Family Income for the HUD area above. It is not a Census median household income and the two are not interchangeable.
The purchasing power module applies a historical CPI ratio: Adjusted = Nominal × CPI(to) / CPI(from). No interpolation is applied and missing months are not imputed; CPI-U is a historical index, not a forecast. The “STABLE” target adds a fixed +10% buffer over the local HUD Median Family Income — that buffer is a GovCalculator heuristic, not a HUD, BLS or IRS determination.
The CPI-U series is the official BLS CUUR0000SA0 index, not seasonally adjusted, taken from the published BLS series: 36 published monthly observations. Months BLS did not publish are not interpolated. IRS Publication 15-T is cited as an official reference only — no federal withholding is calculated anywhere on this site.
Verify eligibility requirements with local program administrators: household size, deductions, and program-specific definitions can materially change outcomes.
FAQ
Which HUD area do the figures for Douglas County, OR come from?
HUD assigns this county to the Douglas County, OR area (code NCNTY41019N41019). A HUD area can cover more than one county, so the area name is not always identical to the county name.
Which fiscal years are shown on this page?
Income limits are FY2026 and Fair Market Rents are FY2026.
What is the Fair Market Rent (2BR) here?
The two-bedroom Fair Market Rent is $1,271 per month. Fair Market Rents for studio through four-bedroom units are listed in the bedroom table above.
Do the income limits on this page decide whether I qualify?
No. They are the thresholds HUD publishes for this area. Programs apply their own rules, and adjusted-income definitions — deductions, allowances, and which household members count — can change the outcome for a given household.
What does the FMR-to-median-family-income share mean?
It is the annualized two-bedroom Fair Market Rent divided by HUD Median Family Income for the same area, here 19.9%. Both inputs are HUD area benchmarks, so it is not a measured rent burden and not an affordability determination.
How does Douglas County rank within OR?
Its applicable two-bedroom Fair Market Rent ranks 22 of 36 county records in OR. Rank 1 is the highest rent in the state and county records with identical rents share a rank. That places it below the state median.
Is the CPI-based purchasing power module a forecast?
No. It is a historical adjustment using CPI-U monthly index values: Adjusted = Income × CPI(to) / CPI(from). It does not predict future inflation.
Does this page calculate federal income tax withholding?
No. GovCalculator does not compute federal withholding anywhere. IRS Publication 15-T is cited as an official reference only; its withholding methods and tables are not ingested or modelled here.
Is Douglas County's rent rank within Oregon a useful comparison?
Yes, within Oregon. Oregon's 36 county records carry 31 distinct two-bedroom Fair Market Rents, and this county is the only Oregon record at $1,271, so the rank places it against individual counties rather than inside a large group publishing the same figure. Nationally the picture is split: the rent ranks 2,156th of 4,764 while the area median family income ranks 3,804th, and the resulting 19.91% benchmark ranks 669th.
