Fairland, OK

The affordability dashboard for Fairland, OK aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 3,100 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (44/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $47,829, median home value of $163,400, median rent of $819 per month, and 12.3% 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 $937 per month (studio $697, 1BR $714, 3BR $1,183, 4BR $1,241). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $10,396 per year, consuming 22% 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. Pressure points are income, education, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 3.4% and poverty 17.7% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
