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 Navarro, that runs from $775 for a studio up to $1,552 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Navarro 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, Corsicana included.
Among Texas's 254 counties, Navarro ranks 127th for two-bedroom FMR. That's within a couple percent of the state median of $1,054 and about 4% above the national median county at $1,018. About 52,834 people live here, 62nd in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $970 in 75144 (Kerens) and $1,400 in 75109 (Corsicana), with the 12 ZIP codes in between. 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 Navarro somewhere between $950 and $1,161. 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.
$1,055 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $42,200 a year. Put another way, $20 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% ($950) | HAP at 100% ($1,055) | HAP at 110% ($1,161) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $200 | $305 | $411 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $0 | $0 | $0 |
