Cornish, UT

The affordability dashboard for Cornish, UT aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 325 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C+ (62/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $83,333, median home value of $309,400, median rent of $1,063 per month, and 28.1% 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 $1,241 per month (studio $940, 1BR $946, 3BR $1,726, 4BR $2,082). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $11,766 per year, consuming 14% 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. Strengths visible in the raw data for Cornish, UT include rent. Unemployment currently reads 9.2% and poverty 5.8% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
