Questions about ZIP 66941 rents

How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 66941?

Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $961, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $865 to $1,057 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.
