The affordability dashboard for Inglis, FL aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 2,809 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (35/100).

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 $974 per month (studio $735, 1BR $831, 3BR $1,238, 4BR $1,290). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $9,100 per year, consuming 21% 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, housing, commute, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 5.2% and poverty 30.7% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
