Source: HUD User Income Limits (geography: Charleston-North Charleston, SC MSA; fiscal year: FY2026); U.S. Census ACS 5-year ZIP-code income data (geography: ZIP 29403; data year: 2024). Cells marked HUD published use published HUD values. Calculated 60% values and any missing published values are estimates. These reference values do not establish official LIHTC/MTSP qualification limits; confirm applicable program rules with the property or housing agency.
Application windows and waitlists vary by property and may change without notice. Find a community in the directory and contact its leasing office to ask whether applications are being accepted, which documents are required, and how its screening process works. For Housing Choice Vouchers, contact the local Public Housing Agency.
HUD income-limit values and Census-derived estimates are reference data. They do not establish LIHTC/MTSP qualification limits or determine whether a household qualifies for a specific property. Confirm the applicable rules with the property or administering agency.
Methodology: This page uses the most common ZIP code among listed properties in charleston as its local reference geography. HUD values are published for the applicable HUD area and fiscal year. When a published limit is missing, the table labels a calculation from the available 4-person income benchmark as an estimate. The ZIP proxy is not necessarily representative of every neighborhood in charleston.
