How much will Section 8 pay for rent in Logan County?

Up to the housing authority's payment standard, which it sets between 90% and 110% of FMR. For a two-bedroom that's $866 to $1,058. The voucher covers the gap between that standard and about 30% of the tenant's income, and it never pays more than the unit would rent for without a voucher.

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 Logan somewhere between $866 and $1,058. 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.

$962 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $38,480 a year. Put another way, $19 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.

Monthly household income	Tenant pays (30%)	Voucher pays at 90%$866	Voucher pays at 100%$962	Voucher pays at 110%$1,058

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 Logan, that runs from $670 for a studio up to $1,264 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.

Because Logan 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, Atlanta included.

Among Illinois's 102 counties, Logan ranks 50th for two-bedroom FMR. That's within a couple percent of the state median of $958 and about 10% below the national median county at $1,063. About 27,713 people live here, 49th in the state.
