Warsaw, IN

The affordability dashboard for Warsaw, IN aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 2 ZIP codes covering 33,716 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 $69,870, median home value of $215,619, median rent of $1,050 per month, and 28.3% 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 $1,142 per month (studio $875, 1BR $881, 3BR $1,385, 4BR $1,560).

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 Warsaw, IN include commute, rent. Unemployment currently reads 3.1% and poverty 12.2% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
