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 $1,106 and $1,352. 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.
$1,229 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $49,160 a year. Put another way, $24 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.
| Monthly household income | Tenant pays (30%) | Voucher pays at 90%$1,106 | Voucher pays at 100%$1,229 | Voucher pays at 110%$1,352 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $356 | $479 | $602 |

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 Tulsa, that runs from $947 for a studio up to $1,882 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 $1,229 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 34% above the state median of $916 and about 16% above the national median county at $1,063. About 680,794 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 $920 in 74050 (Oakhurst) and $1,760 in 74037 (Jenks), with the 59 ZIP codes in between. Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate.
