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 2026 that's October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. In Gila, that runs from $1,120 for a studio up to $2,170 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Gila sits outside any HUD metro area, its rate is a county-wide figure built from local rents. One number covers every address in the county, Globe included.
Among Arizona's 15 counties, Gila ranks 5th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 8% above the state median of $1,365 and about 45% above the national median county at $1,018. About 53,419 people live here, 11th in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,270 in 85542 (Peridot) and $1,650 in 85541 (Payson), with the 13 ZIP codes in between. Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate.

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 Gila somewhere between $1,331 and $1,627. 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.
$1,479 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $59,160 a year. Put another way, $28 an hour full time.
Worked example for a two-bedroom, assuming the rent equals the payment standard. Tenant pays 30% of monthly income, HUD's housing assistance payment covers the rest.
| Monthly household income | Tenant pays (30%) | HAP at 90% ($1,331) | HAP at 100% ($1,479) | HAP at 110% ($1,627) |
