The affordability dashboard for Corydon, IN aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 16,722 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C (56/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $70,903, median home value of $248,200, median rent of $812 per month, and 21.4% 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 $1,272 per month (studio $966, 1BR $1,047, 3BR $1,625, 4BR $1,891).

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 Corydon, IN include rent. Pressure points are education. Unemployment currently reads 3.6% and poverty 8.8% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
