Belleview, MO

The affordability dashboard for Belleview, MO aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 882 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (46/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $44,844, median home value of $140,600, median rent of $809 per month, and 14.0% 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 $888 per month (studio $660, 1BR $810, 3BR $1,084, 4BR $1,371).

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 4.3% and poverty 35.1% - numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
