Questions about ZIP 16636 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 16636?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,014, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $913 to $1,115 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,380 it would be $1,242 to $1,518.
