Affordability Score: 22/100

Population: 23,129 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Orocovis, PR aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 23,129 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (22/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $20,151, median home value of $101,900, median rent of $504 per month, and 19.9% 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 $526 per month (studio $450, 1BR $458, 3BR $636, 4BR $732).

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. Unemployment currently reads 10.7% and poverty 50.2% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
