Affordability Score: 40/100

Population: 9,874 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Indiantown, FL aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 9,874 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (40/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $64,526, median home value of $217,000, median rent of $955 per month, and 11.3% 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.

Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $12,480 per year, consuming 19% 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 education, commute, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 7.4% and poverty 21.1% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
