How These Limits Work

Limits are based on 115% of area median income, with a $119,850 floor. They apply to the property ZIP you're buying in—not your current address.

Data is sourced from the USDA Rural Development Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program. See the income limits PDF and area definitions PDF.

Income eligibility is the #1 reason USDA applications are denied. A certified broker can apply "Adjusted Annual Income" rules to ensure you qualify even if your gross pay is over the limit.
