Local housing costs
HUD’s fair market rent for Jefferson County sets what a housing voucher covers here. It is a useful floor for what local housing costs, not a price for care.
- One-bedroom fair market rent (FY2026)
- $1,071per month
- Two-bedroom fair market rent (FY2026)
- $1,405per month
- Income limit, one person (FY2026)
- $31,500per year
- Income limit, four people (FY2026)
- $44,950per year
The income limits are HUD’s very low income threshold, about 50 percent of area median income. They are the line most Section 8 and income-restricted senior housing programs use. HUD publishes a one-person and a four-person figure, so households of two or three fall between the two numbers above.
