New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority 2014 Residential Rental Cost Surveyii
PURPOSEThe purpose of this survey is to monitor rental housing costs, provide information to housing datausers, and to support New Hampshire Housings program administration.
METHODOLOGY AND DEFINITIONS
The information in this report is the result of a statewide telephone survey conducted by theUniversity of New Hampshire Survey Center for the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authorityduring April 2014. The Survey Center obtained information on 32,666 market rate rental housingunits across the state. Rental properties polled were either included in last year's survey or wereadded to the polling list from online advertisements published in early 2014. When determiningmedian rents, only a portion of the unit data gathered from those projects with more than 10 unitshave been used so as to reduce the bias toward those larger complexes. As a result, thecalculation of median rents is based on a total sample of 14,208 units.
Gross rentsare calculated for each property polled by adding to the contract rent (rent charged bythe landlord) dollar allowances for those utilities the tenant is expected to pay. The addition ofallowances for tenant-paid utilities has the effect of standardizing rental costs. The Authority
determines these utility allowances at the time of the rental survey. They are based on physicalconsumption allowances determined by HUD and current energy costs as determined by a surveyconducted by the Authority. Estimates of the average tenant-paid utility costs are reportedstatewide by unit size on page vi of this report.
Median gross rents are presented for various geographic areas and for each unit size. Themedian represents the gross rent that is at the middle of the distribution when gross rents areordered from lowest to highest. Thus 50% of the sample units in each calculation have gross rentsbelow the median, and 50% have gross rents above the median. The median differs from a meanaverage and has some advantages in that the median is less influenced by extremes in rentalcosts.
Median gross rental costs for the three major HUD Metropolitan Fair Market Rent Areas (HMFAs)in New Hampshire are presented in this report. These areas are the Manchester, NH HMFA, theNashua, NH HMFA, and the Portsmouth-Rochester, NH HMFA. A listing of the communities thatcomprise these areas is provided at the end of this document.
In the tables that follow, some median rents are not reported because the sample was not largeenough to result in a reliable calculation. Categories for which there are insufficient data containthe notation "***". In general, median rents were not calculated when the sample contained lessthan 20 units. Despite the suppression of results for categories with small sample sizes, the datafor those units have been included in the calculation of the overall median rents.
This report includes a chart for each area summarizing results of the Residential Rental Cost
Survey from 1993 to present. The median gross rents for two-bedroom units are plotted to showgeneral trends. The user should keep in mind that the sample set changes each year; therefore,changes in rents may be due to both the change in the sample and changes in utility costs used incalculating gross rents.

The chart above represents the change in the average monthly amount of utility costs paidby tenants residing in units where the heating cost was paid by the tenant. These utilitycosts show some fluctuation from year to year due to differences in sampling and changesin utility rates. On balance, the average utility cost for all units combined has increased byless than 2 percent over the past five years; however, over the past ten years there hasbeen an increase of 31 percent.
The following chart displays the difference in overall sample size from one year to the next.The total survey sample size continues to be significantly larger than during the late 1980sand early 1990s.
