Across the 260 NH ZIP codes present in both years, the average two-bedroom Fair Market Rent decreased from $1,968 to $1,911, a change of -$57 (-2.9%). Payment standards follow FMR, so an increase generally raises the ceiling a voucher can cover in NH.
NH is divided into 12 HUD FMR areas. Each sets its own rent standard, so the ceiling a voucher can cover changes depending on which area a unit sits in.
