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 Robertson somewhere between $1,036 and $1,266. 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.
$1,151 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $46,040 a year. Put another way, $22 an hour full time.

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 Robertson, that runs from $1,005 for a studio up to $1,900 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
This is a metro rate. The county doesn't get one of its own. HUD lumps Robertson in with 2 other counties in the College Station-Bryan metro, Brazos County, Burleson County among them, and every one of them gets $1,151 for a two-bedroom. Where you are inside the metro doesn't change the county number. It does change the ZIP number, covered below.
Among Texas's 254 counties, Robertson ranks 98th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 4% above the state median of $1,105 and about 8% above the national median county at $1,063. About 17,167 people live here, 135th in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,070 in 76629 (Bremond) and $1,080 in 77867 (Mumford), with the 6 ZIP codes in between. Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate. Everywhere else the ZIP numbers show where rents actually sit, and the county rate stays the official standard.
