San Ysidro, NM

The affordability dashboard for San Ysidro, NM aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 998 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (36/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $52,857, median home value of $196,900, median rent of $885 per month, and 11.0% 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 $1,464 per month (studio $1,009, 1BR $1,185, 3BR $2,036, 4BR $2,399).

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 education. Unemployment currently reads 10.3% and poverty 10.9% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
