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 Davis, that runs from $1,208 for a studio up to $2,612 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 Davis in with 2 other counties in the Ogden metro, Weber County, Morgan County among them, and every one of them gets $1,614 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 Utah's 29 counties, Davis ranks 5th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 37% above the state median of $1,181 and about 59% above the national median county at $1,018. About 363,032 people live here, 3rd in the state.

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 Davis somewhere between $1,453 and $1,775. 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.
$1,614 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $64,560 a year. Put another way, $31 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% ($1,453) | HAP at 100% ($1,614) | HAP at 110% ($1,775) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $703 | $864 | $1,025 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $253 | $414 | $575 |
