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 Warren, that runs from $1,041 for a studio up to $1,785 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
This is a metro rate. The county doesn't get one of its own. HUD lumps Warren in with one other county in the Glens Falls metro, Washington County among them, and every one of them gets $1,348 for a two-bedroom. Where you are inside the metro doesn't change the county number. It does change the ZIP number, covered below.
Among New York's 62 counties, Warren ranks 32nd for two-bedroom FMR. That's within a couple percent of the state median of $1,361 and about 32% above the national median county at $1,018. About 65,684 people live here, 38th 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 Warren somewhere between $1,213 and $1,483. 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.
$1,348 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $53,920 a year. Put another way, $26 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% ($1,213) | HAP at 100% ($1,348) | HAP at 110% ($1,483) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $463 | $598 | $733 |
