Affordability Score: 11/100

Population: 1,800 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Cibecue, AZ aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 1,800 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (11/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $25,510, median home value of $101,800, median rent of $909 per month, and 1.8% 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 $1,309 per month (studio $937, 1BR $1,026, 3BR $1,622, 4BR $1,733). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $11,700 per year, consuming 46% 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 income, education, housing, rent, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 12.9% and poverty 56.9% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
