About these limits

HUD publishes a limit for every county each year. Most down payment help uses 80% of the area median income, adjusted for how many people live in the home. Limits are for the HUD area around the county, not the county alone. Source: HUD FY 2026 Income Limits.

HUD's area median family income and the low-income limit (80% of median, family of four) for all 39 Washington counties, highest median first. These limits gate most down payment assistance and affordable mortgage programs.
