Rhode Island USDA Income Limits (Moderate Income – Guaranteed Loan)
All Rhode Island areas have higher-than-standard USDA income limits due to regional housing costs.
| Area | 1–4 Person | 5+ Person |
|---|---|---|
| Providence-Fall River, RI-MA HUD Metro FMR Area | $131,450 | $173,550 |
| Westerly-Hopkinton-New Shoreham, RI HUD Metro FMR Area | $142,250 | $187,800 |
| Newport-Middleton-Portsmouth, RI HUD Metro FMR Area | $152,100 | $200,800 |
Important: USDA income limits are based on total household income — including income from all adult household members — not just the borrower(s).
If your total household income is within your area’s limit and the home is located in a USDA-eligible area, you may qualify for a USDA Guaranteed loan with 100% financing (no down payment required).
