|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $797 | $717–$877 | $31,880 | $15.33/hr | +6.6% |

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 Fremont somewhere between $899 and $1,099. 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.
$999 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $39,960 a year. Put another way, $19 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.
| Monthly household income | Tenant pays (30%) | Voucher pays at 90%$899 | Voucher pays at 100%$999 | Voucher pays at 110%$1,099 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $149 | $249 | $349 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $0 | $0 | $0 |

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 Fremont, that runs from $797 for a studio up to $1,670 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Fremont 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, Jeffrey City included.
Among Wyoming's 23 counties, Fremont ranks 16th for two-bedroom FMR. That's within a couple percent of the state median of $1,016 and about 6% below the national median county at $1,063. About 39,533 people live here, 5th in the state.
