The affordability dashboard for Quebradillas, PR aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 27,819 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (31/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $23,874, median home value of $112,400, median rent of $522 per month, and 20.4% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher. These four metrics alone explain most of the variance between city dashboards.

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 7.9% and poverty 44.9% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
