Metairie, LA Section 8 Rent Limits 2026–27 by ZIP Code
For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Metairie ranges from $1,390 (ZIP 70002) to $1,640 (ZIP 70001), with a median of $1,430 across 11 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).
