Small Area FMRs by ZIP code
HUD also publishes Small Area Fair Market Rents for each ZIP code. In Sevier County the two-bedroom figure ranges from $1,010 to $1,250 across 12 ZIP codes, against the area-wide $1,049. This area is not on HUD's list of mandatory Small Area FMR areas, so most agencies here use the area-wide FMR; an agency may still opt in to ZIP-level rents.
