Affordability Score: 55/100

Population: 1,431 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Brockport, PA aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 1,431 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C (55/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $51,125, median home value of $146,100, median rent of $705 per month, and 17.4% 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 $973 per month (studio $708, 1BR $825, 3BR $1,283, 4BR $1,288).

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 4.5% and poverty 9.8% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
