Affordability Score: 32/100

Population: 25,287 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Sabana Grande, PR aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 25,287 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 $21,987, median home value of $100,200, median rent of $465 per month, and 28.4% 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 $520 per month (studio $423, 1BR $425, 3BR $669, 4BR $717).

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, housing. Unemployment currently reads 11.2% and poverty 44.1% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
