Kiryas Joel, NY vs Orlando, FL

Simple answer

You'd likely save $172 a month in Orlando.

This is the HUD 2-bedroom fair-market rent for October 2026 through September 2027. It is not your lease.

After a move from New York to Florida, these benefit results change for a family of four at $40,000 and a single adult at $18,000: Marketplace premium tax credits, Medicaid and CHIP.

A $75,000 salary in Kiryas Joel lines up with about $69,514 in Orlando on the 2024 all-items price parity. Census median gross rent and the commute figures are 2024. Fair Market Rents are fiscal year 2027.
