Bourneville, OH

The affordability dashboard for Bourneville, OH aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 71 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (0/100). The headline inputs are median household income of —, median home value of —, median rent of — per month, and — 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 $1,057 per month (studio $785, 1BR $882, 3BR $1,335, 4BR $1,399). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $9,025 per year.

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. Unemployment currently reads — and poverty — — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
