Affordability Score: 48/100

Population: 54,767 · 2 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Titusville, FL aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 2 ZIP codes covering 54,767 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (48/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $67,617, median home value of $274,996, median rent of $1,338 per month, and 26.0% 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 $1,709 per month (studio $1,266, 1BR $1,478, 3BR $2,330, 4BR $2,645). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $10,400 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. Pressure points are housing. Unemployment currently reads 5.0% and poverty 10.2% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
