86351 Sedona, AZ Fair Market Rent

What the FMR for ZIP 86351 actually means

HUD publishes Small Area Fair Market Rents at the ZIP code level for designated metros. ZIP 86351 (Sedona, AZ) is covered by Prescott Valley-Prescott, AZ MSA, so FY 2026 figures here are ZIP-specific: $1,540 for a 1-bedroom, studio $1,330, 2-bedroom $1,930, 3-bedroom $2,680, and 4-bedroom $2,940. 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 Yavapai can show different bedroom figures. Against the national benchmark the 1-bedroom SAFMR here is 61% above the US average of $959, and 34% above the AZ state average of $1,151.

For budgeting, the 30% affordability rule says rent should not exceed 30% of gross household income. At the FY 2026 1-bedroom FMR of $1,540, that implies a household income of $61,600 per year (about $5,133/month) to avoid being cost-burdened, a 2-bedroom at $1,930 lifts that threshold higher still. ZIP 86351 has a population of 6,349 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%).
