Winnemucca, NV

The affordability dashboard for Winnemucca, NV aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 2 ZIP codes covering 16,150 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of C (58/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $81,545, median home value of $280,500, median rent of $990 per month, and 17.5% 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 $1,312 per month (studio $993, 1BR $1,000, 3BR $1,636, 4BR $2,201). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $9,544 per year, consuming 12% 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 Winnemucca, NV include rent. Pressure points are education. Unemployment currently reads 5.8% and poverty 9.9% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
