The affordability dashboard for Dickeyville, WI aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 1,049 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of B- (65/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $70,913, median home value of $193,400, median rent of $712 per month, and 25.6% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher.

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 $745, 1BR $762, 3BR $1,213, 4BR $1,594). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $10,920 per year, consuming 15% of the local median household income.
