Monmouth-Ocean, NJ: 2-bedroom payment standards across 82 ZIP codes

HUD's FY2026 Small Area Fair Market Rents for Monmouth-Ocean, NJ HUD Metro FMR Area range from $1,230 to $3,490 for a 2-bedroom. The 90th-percentile ZIP code runs 1.59× the 10th — a gap of $1,160 a month — which ranks 25th widest of the 247 HUD metro areas we compare.

HUD requires ZIP-level payment standards here. Monmouth-Ocean, NJ is one of the 65 designated Small Area FMR areas, so housing authorities in this area set payment standards from each ZIP code's own SAFMR rather than one area-wide figure. The spread below is policy, not a gap — though your PHA still chooses a figure within 90–110% of each ZIP's SAFMR, and may group ZIP codes together.
$2,360

median 2-bedroom SAFMR across the area's 82 ZIP codes. Each ZIP code carries its own standard here; your PHA sets a figure within 90–110% of that ZIP's SAFMR.

$1,160

monthly gap between the 90th- and 10th-percentile ZIP code ($1,976 to $3,136).

29.3%

of the area's ZIP codes (24 of 82) sit above $2,596 — 110% of the area median. Because ZIP-level standards are required here, that is a measure of the area's rent spread, not of ZIP codes left behind by a ceiling.

2 BR Small Area FMR area median across all 82 ZIPs

Every ZIP code, ranked

The payment-standard column is HUD's published 90–110% band for that ZIP code — the range a housing authority may adopt without HUD approval. Your PHA sets the exact figure. The final column compares each ZIP to the area median; ZIP codes marked above 110% exceed 110% of that median, which here simply marks the top of the area's rent range — ZIP-level standards are required in this area, so no ZIP is capped by an area-wide figure.

How Monmouth-Ocean, NJ compares

Its internal spread of 1.59× (p90 ÷ p10) ranks 25 of 247 HUD metro FMR areas, against a median of 1.37× and a national high of 1.77×. On the steadier p75 ÷ p25 measure it is 1.21×. See the full ranking and how it was measured →

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.
