Questions about ZIP 12186 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 12186?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,711, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,540 to $1,882 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,560 it would be $1,404 to $1,716.
