What is a Small Area Fair Market Rent (SAFMR)?

SAFMRs are fair market rents that HUD publishes at the ZIP code level instead of one rate for a whole metro area. They reflect what modest rental housing actually costs in each ZIP, which means higher payment standards in more expensive neighborhoods. Housing choice voucher payments in this market are based on these rates.

Why do rents vary so much between ZIP codes here?

In Norwich-New London, CT, 2-bedroom SAFMRs run from $1,410 to $2,360 per month.
