Thomas, OK

The affordability dashboard for Thomas, OK aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 1,675 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of B- (67/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $69,821, median home value of $151,100, median rent of $723 per month, and 27.2% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher.

Cross-agency feeds widen the picture beyond Census demographics. HUD publishes a Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom in this county at $937 per month (studio $646, 1BR $732, 3BR $1,303, 4BR $1,572). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $10,405 per year, consuming 15% 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 Thomas, OK include housing, rent. Unemployment currently reads 2.7% and poverty 12.0% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
