The headline inputs are median household income of -, median home value of -, median rent of - per month, and - of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher.

Cross-agency feeds widen the picture beyond Census demographics. HUD publishes a Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom in this county at $2,642 per month (studio $1,877, 1BR $2,016, 3BR $3,674, 4BR $4,432). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $19,020 per year.

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. Unemployment currently reads - and poverty - - numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
