Pointblank, TX

The affordability dashboard for Pointblank, TX aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 2,223 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C (56/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $62,750, median home value of $233,200, median rent of $1,379 per month, and 25.9% 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 $1,149 per month (studio $935, 1BR $1,048, 3BR $1,536, 4BR $1,928). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $6,708 per year, consuming 11% 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. Strengths visible in the raw data for Pointblank, TX include rent. Unemployment currently reads 10.2% and poverty 10.5% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
