Affordability Score: 39/100

Population: 3,992 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Corrigan, TX aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 3,992 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (39/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $46,014, median home value of $177,600, median rent of $665 per month, and 13.4% 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 $1,122 per month (studio $849, 1BR $855, 3BR $1,345, 4BR $1,651). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $6,708 per year, consuming 15% 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. Unemployment currently reads 21.7% and poverty 15.5% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
