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 Tulsa, that runs from $933 for a studio up to $1,858 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 Tulsa in with 4 other counties in the Tulsa metro, Rogers County, Wagoner County, Creek County among them, and every one of them gets $1,217 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 Oklahoma's 77 counties, Tulsa ranks 9th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 30% above the state median of $937 and about 20% above the national median county at $1,018. About 668,923 people live here, 2nd in the state.

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 Tulsa somewhere between $1,095 and $1,339. 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.
$1,217 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $48,680 a year. Put another way, $23 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.
