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

Up to the housing authority's payment standard, which it sets between 90% and 110% of FMR. For a two-bedroom that's $1,199 to $1,465. 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.

Does Davie County have its own Fair Market Rent?

No. It uses the Winston-Salem metro rate, shared with 3 other counties. HUD sets one FMR for the whole metro area, so Davie gets the same $1,332 two-bedroom figure as Forsyth County.

Why does my ZIP code show a different Fair Market Rent than Davie County?

HUD publishes a second set of numbers, Small Area FMRs, for individual ZIP codes. In Davie those run from $1,090 to $1,280 for a two-bedroom. Housing authorities in metros HUD has designated for Small Area FMRs use the ZIP rate. The rest use the county rate. Your PHA can tell you which one applies.

When do the next Fair Market Rents for Davie County come out?

HUD usually publishes the new fiscal year's rates in late August or September, and they take effect October 1. This page updates as soon as the new North Carolina figures are loaded.

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 Davie somewhere between $1,199 and $1,465. 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.

$1,332 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $53,280 a year. Put another way, $26 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%$1,199	Voucher pays at 100%$1,332	Voucher pays at 110%$1,465
$2,500	$750	$449	$582	$715

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 Davie, that runs from $1,079 for a studio up to $2,135 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 Davie in with 3 other counties in the Winston-Salem metro, Forsyth County, Stokes County, Yadkin County among them, and every one of them gets $1,332 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 North Carolina's 100 counties, Davie ranks 24th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 16% above the state median of $1,145 and about 25% above the national median county at $1,063. About 44,122 people live here, 58th in the state.

Rates by ZIP code

Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,090 in 27028 (Mocksville) and $1,280 in 27006 (Advance), with the 3 ZIP codes in between. Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate. Everywhere else the ZIP numbers show where rents actually sit, and the county rate stays the official standard.

27006	Advance	$1,280	-3.9%
27014	Cooleemee	$1,240	-6.9%
