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 Volusia somewhere between $1,506 and $1,840. 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.
$1,673 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $66,920 a year. Put another way, $32 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 Volusia, that runs from $1,258 for a studio up to $2,403 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Volusia is its own HUD metro area (Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL), so the rate here is set from rents inside the county rather than a wider region.
Among Florida's 67 counties, Volusia ranks 26th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 14% above the state median of $1,474 and about 57% above the national median county at $1,063. About 579,622 people live here, 12th in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,480 in 32720 (Deland) and $2,210 in 32124 (Daytona Beach), with the 40 ZIP codes in between. Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate. Everywhere else the ZIP numbers show where rents actually sit, and the county rate stays the official standard.
