Population: 19,061 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Coshocton, OH aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 19,061 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C (55/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $52,904, median home value of $151,700, median rent of $761 per month, and 18.0% 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 $973 per month (studio $736, 1BR $824, 3BR $1,254, 4BR $1,632). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $9,025 per year, consuming 17% 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 Coshocton, OH include rent. Pressure points are education.
