Questions about ZIP 51025 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 51025?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $927, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $834 to $1,020 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,120 it would be $1,008 to $1,232.
