For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Northampton ranges from $2,100 (ZIP 01061) to $2,350 (ZIP 01060), with a median of $2,350 across 3 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).
