Weimar, TX

The affordability dashboard for Weimar, TX aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 4,733 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C+ (60/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $71,278, median home value of $235,600, median rent of $508 per month, and 20.8% 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 $1,147 per month (studio $892, 1BR $917, 3BR $1,375, 4BR $1,688). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $9,620 per year, consuming 13% 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 Weimar, TX include rent. Pressure points are education. Unemployment currently reads 2.1% and poverty 4.6% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
