Affordability Score: 46/100

Population: 5,456 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Maysville, GA aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 5,456 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (46/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $62,417, median home value of $244,300, median rent of $883 per month, and 12.7% 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 $1,153 per month (studio $981, 1BR $1,004, 3BR $1,483, 4BR $1,934). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $7,436 per year, consuming 12% 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. Unemployment currently reads 4.8% and poverty 12.8% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
