VirginiaFort Walker BAH
Fort Walker is paid at DAHLGREN/FORT A.P. HILL, housing area VA368. An E-5 with dependents draws $2,313 a month there, tax free.
Why the names don't matchThe DoD sets one rate per housing area, not per base, and names the area after the civilian housing market it measures. Fort Walker sits inside DAHLGREN/FORT A.P. HILL, so that's the rate it pays.
