The affordability dashboard for Prague, OK aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 5,274 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C (56/100).

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.
