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 $1,432 and $1,750. 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.
$1,591 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $63,640 a year. Put another way, $31 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 Davis, that runs from $1,184 for a studio up to $2,550 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 $1,591 for a two-bedroom. Where you are inside the metro doesn't change the county number. It does change the ZIP number, covered below.
