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 Reno, that runs from $660 for a studio up to $1,326 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Reno 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, Hutchinson included.
Among Kansas's 105 counties, Reno ranks 28th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 9% above the state median of $877 and about 6% below the national median county at $1,018. About 61,881 people live here, 9th in the state.

Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $880 in 67505 (South Hutchinson) and $1,170 in 67510 (Abbyville), with the 14 ZIP codes in between. Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate.

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 Reno somewhere between $861 and $1,053. 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.
$957 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $38,280 a year. Put another way, $18 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% ($861) | HAP at 100% ($957) | HAP at 110% ($1,053) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
