What are the USDA Rural Housing Loan Income Limits for 2020?

The household income limit is based on the number of people in the household that will occupy the property. The income limits are set based on 1-4 people household, 5-8 people households and then excess of 8 people households. Below is the chart showing Delaware USDA Loans Income Limits for 2020:

For any household with more than 8 people, you add 8% of the 4 person limit per person above the 8 people. For example if a household of 9 in New Castle County then 8% of the $111,100 is $8,888 so add that to the 8 person limit of $146,650 gives you a maximum income limit of $155,538 for household of 9.

How is the USDA Loan Household Income Defined?

The household income for USDA Loans is calculated based on ANY income received by any member of the household. So anybody that is going to be living in the home even if not on the mortgage application must be considered. So if son is 18 and working and he will be living in the home then his income must be added in when calculating the household income.
