Janesville is in the Janesville-Beloit, WI MSA. HUD also publishes the ZIP-level Small Area FMRs shown here, but unless the local housing authority has adopted them, vouchers are based on the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,280. Among 22 ZIP codes in Rock County, 53547 is tied for the 9th-highest two-bedroom rent (county range $1,130–$1,690). The median county two-bedroom FMR in Wisconsin is $1,041, so ZIP 53547 is 23% above it.
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 53547?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,280, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,152 to $1,408 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,280 it would be $1,152 to $1,408. 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.
