Fair market rent
What HUD sets for each size
Every year HUD (the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) publishes a Fair Market Rent (FMR) for each home size in Milwaukee County. It is used to work out how much a Section 8 voucher covers. The table shows what you need to earn to pay it without spending more than 30% of income.
The fair market rent covers rent plus basic utilities, except the phone. HUD generally sets it at the 40th percentile: 4 in 10 standard-quality homes rented recently cost less. 24 CFR §888.113(a)
According to Zillow (ZORI), the typical asking rent in Milwaukee County was $1,507 a month in September 2026: 5% more than 12 months ago. It is an index of market listings, not a HUD limit. Zillow data

By ZIP code
The fair market rent for your ZIP code
HUD also publishes fair market rents by ZIP code (Small Area FMRs) for 36 ZIP codes in Milwaukee County (Fiscal year 2027). Type yours to see it.
For 2 bedrooms they run from $1,210 in 53110 to $1,890 in 53203. 16 ZIP codes are above the county's fair market rent ($1,263).
Where HUD designates these areas, or where the housing agency chooses to use them, the voucher is figured on the ZIP code's rent instead of the county's. Ask your agency which one it uses. 24 CFR §982.503(a)(1)

How much does Section 8 pay in Milwaukee County?
The voucher pays up to your housing agency's payment standard, minus your share. The rule lets the agency set it between 90% and 110% of the fair market rent: for 2 bedrooms here, between $1,137 and $1,389 a month. Your agency publishes its figure.
Does the fair market rent change by ZIP code in Milwaukee County?
For 2 bedrooms they run from $1,210 in 53110 to $1,890 in 53203. Where HUD designates these areas, or where the housing agency chooses to use them, the voucher is figured on the ZIP code's rent instead of the county's. Ask your agency which one it uses.
How many low-income apartments are there in Milwaukee County?
HUD lists 330 properties with homes for low-income households in Milwaukee County: tax-credit apartments (LIHTC), HUD-assisted buildings and public housing. They run from the most low-income homes to the fewest. For tax-credit apartments and HUD-assisted buildings, you apply directly at the building's management office. They tell you whether units are open and how to apply; HUD does not have that information.
