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 Auglaize somewhere between $914 and $1,118. 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.
$1,016 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $40,640 a year. Put another way, $20 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 Auglaize, that runs from $772 for a studio up to $1,603 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Auglaize 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, Lima included.
Among Ohio's 88 counties, Auglaize ranks 51st for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 3% below the state median of $1,048 and about 4% below the national median county at $1,063. About 46,125 people live here, 51st in the state.
