The affordability dashboard for Reevesville, SC aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 1,537 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (29/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $38,500, median home value of $109,700, median rent of $891 per month, and 18.9% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher.

Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $10,344 per year, consuming 27% 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.
