Affordability Score: 43/100

Population: 434 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Poy Sippi, WI aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 434 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (43/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $51,555, median home value of $188,000, median rent of $515 per month, and 11.3% 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 $973 per month (studio $691, 1BR $742, 3BR $1,291, 4BR $1,493). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $9,464 per year, consuming 18% 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 income, education, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 1.4% and poverty 9.3% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
