The Fair Market Rent (FMR) for ZIP code 65627 in fiscal year 2026 is set at $1,030. This figure represents the payment standard under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, which is the amount that the government will pay to cover a portion of the tenant's rent. It does not mean that your property must be rented for exactly $1,030; it serves as an upper limit for the subsidy.

In ZIP 65627, the median home value is listed as N/A, which makes it challenging to directly compare with the FMR. However, knowing that 23.0% of the residents in this area are renters can help you gauge the potential demand for rental properties. With nearly a quarter of the population renting, there is a solid base of tenants who might benefit from the Section 8 program.

If you're looking to acquire a new property in this area, the median home value stands at $176,291. This gives you an idea of the average price you might expect to pay for a home, but remember, the actual rent you charge could be higher than the FMR if the market supports it. The key is to ensure that the total rent is reasonable and competitive within the local market to attract tenants.

Before proceeding with a Section 8 rental, verify that your property meets all the necessary quality standards as defined by HUD. These standards are designed to ensure safe and decent living conditions for tenants, and failure to meet them could result in disqualification from the program. Once you confirm compliance, the FMR of $1,030 will guide the maximum subsidy amount you can receive per unit, helping you plan your finances accurately.
