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 Greene, that runs from $830 for a studio up to $1,451 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Greene 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, Aleppo included.
Among Pennsylvania's 67 counties, Greene ranks 36th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 4% below the state median of $1,138 and about 8% above the national median county at $1,018. About 35,781 people live here, 58th in the state.

Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate.

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 Greene somewhere between $986 and $1,206. 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.
$1,096 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $43,840 a year. Put another way, $21 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.
| Monthly household income | Tenant pays (30%) | HAP at 90% ($986) | HAP at 100% ($1,096) | HAP at 110% ($1,206) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
