Questions about ZIP 61021 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 61021?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $930, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $837 to $1,023 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,010 it would be $909 to $1,111.
