Interesting! So why are rents on HUD a lot lower? e.g., the rent for 1 BR in SF is $1579 according to http://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/50per.html

Good question. It's not clear where there data source is coming from (well, their own service, but where is that coming from?). Data source is important: Using craigslist for instance will ignore tons of places on the low end causing distortions.
