60958 Pembroke Township, IL Fair Market Rent

What the FMR for ZIP 60958 actually means

HUD publishes Small Area Fair Market Rents at the ZIP code level for designated metros. ZIP 60958 (Pembroke Township, IL) is covered by Kankakee, IL MSA, so FY 2026 figures here are ZIP-specific: $860 for a 1-bedroom, studio $780, 2-bedroom $1,130, 3-bedroom $1,490, and 4-bedroom $1,500. These are 40th-percentile gross rents (utilities except telephone), not live asking rents. Housing Choice Voucher payment standards are typically set between 90% and 110% of the applicable FMR/SAFMR.

Because this page uses SAFMR, nearby ZIPs in Kankakee can show different bedroom figures. Against the national benchmark the 1-bedroom SAFMR here is 10% below the US average of $959, and 1% above the IL state average of $854.

For budgeting, the 30% affordability rule says rent should not exceed 30% of gross household income. At the FY 2026 1-bedroom FMR of $860, that implies a household income of $34,400 per year (about $2,867/month) to avoid being cost-burdened, a 2-bedroom at $1,130 lifts that threshold higher still. ZIP 60958 has a population of 2,135 residents, so the gap between these FMR figures and local wages shapes how many households qualify as rent-burdened (paying more than 30% of income) or severely burdened (above 50%).
