Questions about ZIP 02114 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 02114?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $3,008, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $2,707 to $3,309 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $4,380 it would be $3,942 to $4,818.
