Proposed Metropolitan Area Definitions for FY2006 Income Limits and Estimates of Median Family Income

Fri, Dec 16 2005 11:00:00 GMT

This notice proposes changes in the metropolitan area definitions used to calculate HUD median family income estimates and income limits. In this notice, HUD is proposing to issue FY2006 income limits that are based on current Office of Management and Budget (OMB) metropolitan statistical area (MSA) definitions based on 2000 Census data rather than to continue to use old OMB metropolitan area definitions based on 1990 Census data.

OMB revises metropolitan area definitions after each Decennial Census. It issued its 2000Census based definitions in 2003, which contained substantial changes to several metropolitan area definitions. These changes were made to better reflect metropolitan area commuting and economic patterns. The OMB metropolitan area definitions are used on a widespread basis throughout the federal government for both data collection and program administrative purposes.

HUD proposed implementing these definitions in its 2004 publication of proposed FY2005 Section 8 Fair Market
