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 Teton somewhere between $1,209 and $1,477. 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.
$1,343 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $53,720 a year. Put another way, $26 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 Teton, that runs from $1,184 for a studio up to $2,245 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Teton 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, Driggs included.
Among Idaho's 44 counties, Teton ranks 7th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 19% above the state median of $1,127 and about 26% above the national median county at $1,063. About 12,425 people live here, 27th in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,260 in 83422 (Driggs) and $1,460 in 83452 (Tetonia), with the 4 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.
