For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Monterey ranges from $2,430 (ZIP 93942) to $3,000 (ZIP 93944), with a median of $2,840 across 4 ZIP codes. HUD sets these per ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rents), so they differ across the city.
These are HUD's figures, effective 2026-10-01. A housing authority sets its own payment standard, normally between 90% and 110% of them (higher with HUD approval or as a disability accommodation).
