|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $708 | $637–$779 | $28,320 | $13.62/hr | +6.1% |

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 Logan somewhere between $850 and $1,038. 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.
$944 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $37,760 a year. Put another way, $18 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 Logan, that runs from $708 for a studio up to $1,578 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Logan 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, Blair included.
Among West Virginia's 55 counties, Logan ranks 39th for two-bedroom FMR. That's within a couple percent of the state median of $955 and about 11% below the national median county at $1,063. About 31,418 people live here, 17th in the state.
