Area Median Income is established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the most recent tax year, and the limits are established according to county and household size. Use the income table to determine if your income is considered low-income or moderate income based on your county.‍ ‍

A low-income single-family household earns less than 80 percent of the area median income.  

A moderate-income single-family household earns at least 80 percent and less than 150 percent of the area median income. 

For multifamily buildings to qualify for a HEAR rebate and for the low-income rebate levels, at least 50 percent of households must meet the above criteria.
