| Studio | $638 | $574–$702 | $25,520 | $12.27/hr | -2.0% |

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 Pittsburg somewhere between $824 and $1,008. 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.
$916 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $36,640 a year. Put another way, $18 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 Pittsburg, that runs from $638 for a studio up to $1,531 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Pittsburg 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, Mcalester included.
Among Oklahoma's 77 counties, Pittsburg ranks 72nd for two-bedroom FMR. That's within a couple percent of the state median of $916 and about 14% below the national median county at $1,063. About 43,561 people live here, 23rd in the state.
