The affordability dashboard for Enosburg Falls, VT aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 4,977 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (43/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $72,875, median home value of $271,800, median rent of $961 per month, and 23.5% 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 $2,140 per month (studio $1,497, 1BR $1,651, 3BR $2,745, 4BR $2,833).

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 education, commute, rent. Unemployment currently reads 1.8% and poverty 13.4% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
