Questions about ZIP 10279 rents
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 10279?

With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $2,971, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $2,674 to $3,268 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $3,680 it would be $3,312 to $4,048.
