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 Troup, that runs from $805 for a studio up to $1,781 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Troup 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, Lagrange included.
Among Georgia's 159 counties, Troup ranks 60th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 9% above the state median of $1,074 and about 15% above the national median county at $1,018. About 69,527 people live here, 34th in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,030 in 31833 (West Point) and $1,240 in 30241 (Lagrange), with the 5 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 Troup somewhere between $1,050 and $1,284. 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.
$1,167 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $46,680 a year. Put another way, $22 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% ($1,050) | HAP at 100% ($1,167) | HAP at 110% ($1,284) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $300 | $417 | $534 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $0 | $0 | $84 |
