Population: 2,883 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Campbell, TX aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 2,883 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C- (54/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $75,690, median home value of $229,400, median rent of $1,166 per month, and 24.2% 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 $1,931 per month (studio $1,582, 1BR $1,648, 3BR $2,431, 4BR $3,091). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $9,932 per year, consuming 13% 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. Pressure points are education, commute. Unemployment currently reads 6.8% and poverty 14.4% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
