Questions about ZIP 01028 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 01028?

With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,800, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,620 to $1,980 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $2,050 it would be $1,845 to $2,255.
