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 Duchesne, that runs from $825 for a studio up to $1,571 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Duchesne 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, Altamont included.
Among Utah's 29 counties, Duchesne ranks 19th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 4% below the state median of $1,181 and about 11% above the national median county at $1,018. About 19,779 people live here, 16th in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,100 in 84031 (Hanna) and $1,230 in 84027 (Fruitland), 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 Duchesne somewhere between $1,016 and $1,242. 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.
$1,129 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $45,160 a year. Put another way, $22 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% ($1,016) | HAP at 100% ($1,129) | HAP at 110% ($1,242) |
