IllinoisSavanna Army Depot BAH
Savanna Army Depot is paid at the rural rate band for its county, housing area ZZ600. An E-5 with dependents draws $1,404 a month there, tax free.
Why the names don't matchThe DoD publishes no housing area of its own for this county, so Savanna Army Depot draws the rate band it sets for counties without one. That band covers many counties across several states, which is why it has a number rather than a name.

Paid at the same rate
A move between any of these changes nothing about your housing allowance, because they all draw the same rate.
