Military Pay CalculatorHow BAH at Wright-Patterson AFB compares (Wright-Patterson AFB, OH MHA)
This is one of the country's lower-cost military housing areas: 233rd of 299 MHAs, with an E-5-with-dependents rate of $1,650/mo — 27.9% under the $2,289 national average. Lower BAH cuts both ways: the allowance is smaller, but it typically stretches further against local rents.
Statewide, this ranks 5th of 7 MHAs — between Cincinnati, OH ($2,283/mo, highest) and Youngstown, OH ($1,191/mo, lowest) for an E-5 with dependents.
Across enlisted grades here, having dependents adds an average of $352/mo (25.1%) 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.
