For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Allentown ranges from $1,690 (ZIP 18102) to $2,270 (ZIP 18104), with a median of $1,860 across 8 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).
