Webster, FL

The affordability dashboard for Webster, FL aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 8,026 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (40/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $62,898, median home value of $245,000, median rent of $886 per month, and 13.2% 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 $1,328 per month (studio $1,076, 1BR $1,139, 3BR $1,655, 4BR $1,937). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $11,700 per year, consuming 19% 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 education, commute, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 1.2% and poverty 22.6% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
