Robinson, KS

The affordability dashboard for Robinson, KS aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 668 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of B+ (77/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $76,875, median home value of $118,800, median rent of $631 per month, and 31.6% 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 $877 per month (studio $643, 1BR $668, 3BR $1,143, 4BR $1,162). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $4,971 per year, consuming 6% 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. Strengths visible in the raw data for Robinson, KS include housing, rent, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 2.4% and poverty 4.2% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
