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 Terrebonne, that runs from $760 for a studio up to $1,459 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
This is a metro rate. The parish doesn't get one of its own. HUD lumps Terrebonne in with one other parish in the Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux metro, Lafourche Parish among them, and every one of them gets $1,102 for a two-bedroom. Where you are inside the metro doesn't change the parish number. It does change the ZIP number, covered below.
Among Louisiana's 64 counties, Terrebonne ranks 22nd for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 16% above the state median of $946 and about 8% above the national median county at $1,018. About 108,862 people live here, 14th in the state.

Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the parish 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 Terrebonne somewhere between $992 and $1,212. 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.
$1,102 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $44,080 a year. Put another way, $21 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% ($992) | HAP at 100% ($1,102) | HAP at 110% ($1,212) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
