Questions about ZIP 26062 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 26062?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,007, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $906 to $1,108 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,000 it would be $900 to $1,100. The voucher pays the lower of the payment standard or the gross rent, minus the tenant's share, which is usually about 30% of adjusted monthly income. Confirm the local housing authority's current schedule before underwriting.
