Questions about ZIP 21029 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 21029?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $2,006, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,805 to $2,207 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $2,660 it would be $2,394 to $2,926.
