Population: 8,252 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Doylestown, OH aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 8,252 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of B- (68/100).

Cross-agency feeds widen the picture beyond Census demographics. HUD publishes a Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom in this county at $1,041 per month (studio $718, 1BR $816, 3BR $1,269, 4BR $1,491). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $11,537 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.
