Chambersburg, PA: 2-bedroom payment standards across 27 ZIP codes

HUD's FY2026 Small Area Fair Market Rents for Chambersburg, PA MSA range from $1,080 to $1,830 for a 2-bedroom. The 90th-percentile ZIP code runs 1.31× the 10th — a gap of $352 a month — which ranks 162th widest of the 247 HUD metro areas we compare.

ZIP-level standards are optional here. Chambersburg, PA is not one of HUD's 65 designated Small Area FMR areas, so a housing authority may set one payment standard for the whole area, or adopt ZIP-level exception standards of up to 110% of a ZIP's published SAFMR. Where a single area-wide standard is used, the 3 ZIP codes below marked "above 110%" sit above the highest ceiling that basic policy reaches. Confirm what applies with the PHA that issued the voucher.

A note on what this does not mean: a higher payment standard does not increase the assistance a household receives. It raises the ceiling on the rent a voucher can cover, while the household still pays roughly 30% of adjusted income. Figures are ZIP-weighted, not renter-weighted, and rest on 2019–2023 American Community Survey data trended forward.

This page shows official HUD Fair Market Rent data for general educational use — it is not legal, financial, or housing advice, and is not a guarantee of any voucher amount. Your local Public Housing Authority sets the actual payment standard and approves rents. Always confirm with your PHA and the official HUD FMR data.
