Affordability Score: 29/100

Population: 8,577 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Aguirre, PR aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 8,577 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (29/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $20,899, median home value of $91,200, median rent of $653 per month, and 14.8% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher. These four metrics alone explain most of the variance between city dashboards.

Cross-agency feeds widen the picture beyond Census demographics. HUD publishes a Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom in this county at $473 per month (studio $410, 1BR $421, 3BR $667, 4BR $737).

Reading the overall grade requires reading all seven dimensions together. The score weights Income 20%, Safety 20%, Housing 15%, Rent 15%, Education 10%, Commute 10%, and Childcare 10%, with each sub-score benchmarked against national percentiles rather than state averages — so the grade is genuinely comparable across any city in the country. Pressure points are income, education, housing, commute. Unemployment currently reads 4.4% and poverty 50.9% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
