Questions about ZIP 22535 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 22535?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,244, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,120 to $1,368 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,570 it would be $1,413 to $1,727.
