Memphis, TN Section 8 Rent Limits 2026–27 by ZIP Code

For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Memphis ranges from $1,000 (ZIP 38126) to $1,830 (ZIP 38135), with a median of $1,300 across 48 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). The voucher then pays the lower of that standard or the gross rent, minus your total tenant payment (generally 30% of adjusted monthly income).
