Questions about ZIP 19939 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 19939?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,498, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,348 to $1,648 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,550 it would be $1,395 to $1,705.
