      The HUD USER FMR/IL API publishes Fair Market Rents (FMRs), Small Area
      Fair Market Rents, and Income Limits (IL) for U.S. metropolitan and
      non-metropolitan areas. It exposes endpoints for listing states,
      metros, and counties as well as retrieving annual FMR and IL values for
      specified geographies and fiscal years. Access requires a free token
