Affordability Score: 40/100

Population: 2,109 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Keysville, GA aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 2,109 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 $44,559, median home value of $145,400, median rent of $826 per month, and 11.6% 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 $1,261 per month (studio $939, 1BR $1,114, 3BR $1,627, 4BR $1,984). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $5,642 per year, consuming 13% 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, rent. Unemployment currently reads 0.2% and poverty 19.9% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
