The affordability dashboard for Beeville, TX aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 2 ZIP codes covering 27,768 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C+ (61/100).

Cross-agency feeds widen the picture beyond Census demographics. HUD publishes a Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom in this county at $1,185 per month (studio $897, 1BR $903, 3BR $1,467, 4BR $1,569). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $6,448 per year, consuming 11% of the local median household income.

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. Strengths visible in the raw data for Beeville, TX include housing. Pressure points are education. Unemployment currently reads 5.7% and poverty 19.4% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
