What a voucher pays here
The FMR isn't the check you'd receive. Your local housing authority turns it into a payment standard, set between 90% and 110% of FMR, so a two-bedroom here lands between $913 and $1,115. Subtract about 30% of the tenant's income and that's the housing assistance payment. If you ask more than similar unassisted units rent for, the PHA's rent reasonableness check will push back.
At the standard 30% of income, a household needs about $40,560 a year to afford $1,014 a month. On a 40-hour week that's $20 an hour.
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
HUD sets Fair Market Rent once a year, based on what typical units in the area actually rent for, with utilities folded in. FY 2027 runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, and in Oglala Lakota County the five published rates run from $706 to $1,599, studio through four bedrooms.
Oglala Lakota is a nonmetro county, so HUD sets its FMR from rents in the county itself rather than a wider metro. The number applies county-wide, from Kyle on out.
The state median two-bedroom FMR is $1,033. Oglala Lakota comes in at $1,014, within a couple percent of that, and ranks 60th of 66 in South Dakota. Against the national median county ($1,063) it's about 5% below. Population is around 13,491.
Rates by ZIP code
HUD also publishes Small Area FMRs by ZIP code. For the 6 ZIP codes it covers in Oglala Lakota, the two-bedroom rate is $1,010 across the board, so there's no ZIP-level story here.
