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 Crawford, that runs from $1,085 for a studio up to $1,731 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
This is a metro rate. The county doesn't get one of its own. HUD lumps Crawford in with 3 other counties in the Macon-Bibb County metro, Bibb County, Jones County, Twiggs County among them, and every one of them gets $1,307 for a two-bedroom. Where you are inside the metro doesn't change the county number. It does change the ZIP number, covered below.
Among Georgia's 159 counties, Crawford ranks 40th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 22% above the state median of $1,074 and about 28% above the national median county at $1,018. About 12,156 people live here, 115th in the state.

Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,130 in 31050 (Knoxville) and $1,190 in 31066 (Musella), with the 3 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.
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 Crawford somewhere between $1,176 and $1,438. 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.
$1,307 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $52,280 a year. Put another way, $25 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% ($1,176) | HAP at 100% ($1,307) | HAP at 110% ($1,438) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $426 | $557 | $688 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $0 | $107 | $238 |
