Weippe, ID

The affordability dashboard for Weippe, ID aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 1,100 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of F (24/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $39,191, median home value of $204,700, median rent of $541 per month, and 7.5% 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 $1,077 per month (studio $815, 1BR $821, 3BR $1,498, 4BR $1,807). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $8,653 per year, consuming 22% 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 income, education, housing, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 0.0% and poverty 12.8% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
