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 Adjuntas, that runs from $461 for a studio up to $805 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Adjuntas sits outside any HUD metro area, its rate is a municipio-wide figure built from local rents. One number covers every address in the municipio.
Among Puerto Rico's 78 counties, Adjuntas ranks 49th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 6% below the state median of $564 and about 48% below the national median county at $1,018. About 17,972 people live here, 62nd 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 Adjuntas somewhere between $478 and $584. 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.
$531 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $21,240 a year. Put another way, $10 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% ($478) | HAP at 100% ($531) | HAP at 110% ($584) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
