Warner Robins, GA

The affordability dashboard for Warner Robins, GA aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 3 ZIP codes covering 81,138 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of B- (66/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $70,408, median home value of $184,153, median rent of $1,201 per month, and 30.7% 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 $1,362 per month (studio $1,106, 1BR $1,221, 3BR $1,821, 4BR $2,148). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $7,436 per year, consuming 11% 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 Warner Robins, GA include housing. Unemployment currently reads 6.4% and poverty 14.1% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
