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 Nodaway, that runs from $714 for a studio up to $1,520 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Nodaway 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, Barnard included.
Among Missouri's 116 counties, Nodaway ranks 51st for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 2% above the state median of $888 and about 11% below the national median county at $1,018. About 21,140 people live here, 54th in the state.

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 Nodaway somewhere between $815 and $997. 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.
$906 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $36,240 a year. Put another way, $17 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% ($815) | HAP at 100% ($906) | HAP at 110% ($997) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $65 | $156 | $247 |
