Asheville, NC Section 8 Rent Limits 2026–27 by ZIP Code
For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Asheville ranges from $1,850 (ZIP 28806) to $2,190 (ZIP 28803), with a median of $1,950 across 10 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).
