Quincy, FL

The affordability dashboard for Quincy, FL aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 2 ZIP codes covering 24,124 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (32/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $39,939, median home value of $145,689, median rent of $918 per month, and 17.8% 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 $1,352 per month (studio $1,097, 1BR $1,204, 3BR $1,674, 4BR $1,790). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $7,150 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, commute, rent. Unemployment currently reads 5.4% and poverty 31.4% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
