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 San Sebastián, that runs from $480 for a studio up to $756 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
This is a metro rate. The municipio doesn't get one of its own. HUD lumps San Sebastián in with 6 other municipios in the Aguadilla metro, Aguadilla Municipio, Isabela Municipio, Aguada Municipio among them, and every one of them gets $564 for a two-bedroom. Where you are inside the metro doesn't change the municipio number. It does change the ZIP number, covered below.

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 San Sebastián somewhere between $508 and $620. 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.
$564 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $22,560 a year. Put another way, $11 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.
