How much does Section 8 pay for a 2-bedroom in Ann Arbor, MI?
For FY2025, the average 2-bedroom Small Area Fair Market Rent in the Ann Arbor, MI MSA is $1,552 per month, ranging from $1,330 to $1,970 depending on ZIP code. Local housing authorities may set payment standards between 90% and 110% of these rates, so the average 2-bedroom payment standard can reach $1,708.
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 Ann Arbor, MI, 2-bedroom SAFMRs run from $1,330 to $1,970 per month. HUD sets each ZIP's rate from local rent data, so neighborhoods with stronger rental markets get higher voucher payment standards. For investors, the spread matters: the same house price can produce very different Section 8 rents a few ZIP codes apart.
