1998 Income Limits Now Available

For each metropolitan area and nonmetropolitan county in the United States, HUD has released the following information:

• 1998 Income Limits for "Low-Income" and "Very Low-Income" Families Under the Housing Act of 1937, used to determine eligibility for many Federal housing programs. Income limits for the Nation are available on hard copy ($20) or diskette ($10).

• Estimated Median Family Incomes for Fiscal Year 1998, which provides a decile distribution of area incomes ($20 on hard copy only).

• Individual State data for low- and very low-income limits, as well as the decile distribution. Available on hard copy ($5 each) or free through the HUD USER faxback service at 1-800-245-2691 (low- and very low-income only).

• A supplement ($10) which identifies the counties that compromise each metropolitan statistical area and primary metropolitan statistical area and lists nonmetropolitan counties. This supplement is free with hard copy orders for national data.

Users also may obtain this data online at HUD USER's website. Please use the order form to request hard copy versions of these data.
