Questions about ZIP 61312 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 61312?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $981, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $883 to $1,079 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,220 it would be $1,098 to $1,342. 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.
