Affordability Score: 33/100

Population: 40,248 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Coamo, PR aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 40,248 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (33/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $21,829, median home value of $99,600, median rent of $518 per month, and 23.5% 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 $473 per month (studio $410, 1BR $421, 3BR $667, 4BR $737).

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. Unemployment currently reads 7.0% and poverty 50.4% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
