Questions about ZIP 21638 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 21638?

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 $2,090 it would be $1,881 to $2,299.
