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 Burleigh somewhere between $960 and $1,174. 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.
$1,067 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $42,680 a year. Put another way, $21 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.

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 Burleigh, that runs from $865 for a studio up to $1,696 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 Burleigh in with 2 other counties in the Bismarck metro, Morton County, Oliver County among them, and every one of them gets $1,067 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 Dakota's 53 counties, Burleigh ranks 17th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 5% above the state median of $1,014 and within a couple percent of the national median county at $1,063. About 100,600 people live here, 2nd in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,060 in 58477 (Regan) and $1,220 in 58494 (Wing), with the 14 ZIP codes in between. Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate.
