A Fair Market Rent is HUD’s estimate of the gross rent (shelter plus utilities) of a modest rental home in the area.

Whether a housing authority uses the ZIP code (Small Area) figures or the area-wide one depends on whether HUD has designated the area for Small Area FMRs or the authority has opted in; ask the local housing authority which applies.
