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.
- County median income is treated as an annual reference value (ACS year), compared to adjusted annual income.
- This module performs a historical transformation, not a forecast.

Sources & methodology
This page is computed from public datasets embedded in the county record: HUD inputs (income limits and Fair Market Rent), IRS withholding tables (federal), and BLS CPI-U monthly points.
The purchasing power module applies a historical CPI ratio: Adjusted = Nominal × CPI(to) / CPI(from). No interpolation is applied; missing months are not imputed.
Always verify eligibility requirements with local program administrators: household size, deductions, and definitions can materially change outcomes.
