Military Pay CalculatorHow BAH at Coast Guard Air Station Houston compares (Houston, TX MHA)
BAH here tracks closely with the national picture — an E-5 with dependents draws $2,193/mo against a national MHA average of $2,289 (134th of 299 MHAs). Neither a windfall nor a squeeze; your allowance should roughly match the local rental market's middle.
Statewide, this ranks 3rd of 17 MHAs — between Dallas, TX ($2,469/mo, highest) and Laughlin AFB/Del Rio, TX ($1,470/mo, lowest) for an E-5 with dependents.
Across enlisted grades here, having dependents adds an average of $488/mo (27.8%) to the allowance. The with/without-dependents gap is set per location, so it differs from base to base — use the tables above for your exact grade.
Comparisons computed from the official 2026 BAH rate file across all 299 market-priced MHAs (county cost groups excluded). Benchmark grade: E-5 with dependents.
