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 Crockett somewhere between $970 and $1,186. 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.
$1,078 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $43,120 a year. Put another way, $21 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 Crockett, that runs from $819 for a studio up to $1,553 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Crockett 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, Ozona included.
Among Texas's 254 counties, Crockett ranks 145th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 2% below the state median of $1,105 and within a couple percent of the national median county at $1,063. About 2,822 people live here, 224th in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
HUD also publishes Small Area FMRs by ZIP code. For the one ZIP code it covers in Crockett, the two-bedroom rate is $1,070 across the board, so there's no ZIP-level story here.
