HUD Income Guidelines

Effective June 2024, median income is defined as the middle income level at which one-half of all households in the community earn the money, and one-half of all households earn less.



The area median family income is estimated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on a local basis and is further broken down according to family size. HUD updates these income limits annually.


  1. Extremely Low Income: 30 percent of the area median family income or below.
  2. Low Income: 50 percent of the area median family income or below.
  3. Moderate Income: 80 percent of the area median family income or below.
