Before

After

FY2026 HUD 2-bedroom FMR: $1,852 per month.

Verified against the HUD first-party FMR history CSV on 2026-07-01: the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX MSA row shows fmr26 2-bedroom $1,852 and fmr24 2-bedroom $1,924, matching this row exactly. This row explicitly compares FY2024 to FY2026 and skips the FY2025 baseline ($1,949). Earlier conflicting third-party figures ($1,760, ~$1,450) did not reproduce against the HUD CSV and were discarded.
