Mc David, FL

The affordability dashboard for Mc David, FL aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 3,122 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C+ (63/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $79,279, median home value of $242,300, median rent of $1,075 per month, and 21.2% 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 $1,471 per month (studio $1,112, 1BR $1,257, 3BR $1,952, 4BR $2,380). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $9,620 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. Unemployment currently reads 2.8% and poverty 8.2% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
