What a voucher pays here
The voucher doesn't pay the FMR itself. It pays the payment standard. Housing authorities set it anywhere from 90% to 110% of FMR, which puts a two-bedroom standard in Coconino somewhere between $1,556 and $1,902. The tenant pays roughly 30% of their income, the voucher covers the rest up to the standard, and the PHA won't approve a rent above what comparable unassisted units get.
$1,729 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $69,160 a year. Put another way, $33 an hour full time.
Worked example for a two-bedroom renting at the payment standard. The tenant pays 30% of monthly income and the voucher covers the rest.

About this rate
Fair Market Rent is HUD's estimate of what a modest, decent unit rents for in an area, utilities included. It's set once a year and runs October to September. For FY 2027 that's October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. In Coconino, that runs from $1,438 for a studio up to $2,312 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Coconino is its own HUD metro area (Flagstaff, AZ), so the rate here is set from rents inside the county rather than a wider region.
Among Arizona's 15 counties, Coconino ranks 3rd for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 39% above the state median of $1,244 and about 63% above the national median county at $1,063. About 144,508 people live here, 7th in the state.
