Affordability Score: 39/100

Population: 245 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Tiona, PA aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 245 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (39/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $40,357, median home value of $124,300, median rent of $912 per month, and 5.5% 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 $973 per month (studio $809, 1BR $814, 3BR $1,304, 4BR $1,363).

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, education. Unemployment currently reads 0.0% and poverty 7.6% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
