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 Logan, that runs from $810 for a studio up to $1,701 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Logan 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, Fredonia included.
Among North Dakota's 53 counties, Logan ranks 15th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 16% above the state median of $873 and within a couple percent of the national median county at $1,018. About 1,849 people live here, 47th in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $990 in 58442 (Gackle) and $1,020 in 58561 (Napoleon), 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.
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 Logan somewhere between $913 and $1,115. 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.
$1,014 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $40,560 a year. Put another way, $20 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% ($913) | HAP at 100% ($1,014) | HAP at 110% ($1,115) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $163 | $264 | $365 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
