For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Burlington ranges from $2,240 (ZIP 05402) to $2,420 (ZIP 05401), with a median of $2,260 across 5 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).
