Aleppo, PA

The affordability dashboard for Aleppo, PA aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 290 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (35/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $44,063, median home value of $159,700, median rent of $853 per month, and 3.2% 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 $1,096 per month (studio $830, 1BR $835, 3BR $1,314, 4BR $1,451).

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. Unemployment currently reads 23.8% and poverty 25.0% - numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
