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 Lane somewhere between $1,391 and $1,701. 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.
$1,546 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $61,840 a year. Put another way, $30 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 Lane, that runs from $1,157 for a studio up to $2,584 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Lane is its own HUD metro area (Eugene-Springfield, OR), so the rate here is set from rents inside the county rather than a wider region.
Among Oregon's 36 counties, Lane ranks 13th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 17% above the state median of $1,325 and about 45% above the national median county at $1,063. About 384,207 people live here, 4th in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,520 in 97412 (Blachly) and $2,320 in 97438 (Fall Creek), with the 37 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.
