Affordability Score: 44/100

Population: 255 · 1 ZIP codes

The affordability dashboard for Woodrow, CO aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 255 residents, then layers in county-level federal data to produce an overall grade of D (44/100). The headline inputs are median household income of $53,438, median home value of $254,200, median rent of $525 per month, and 34.3% 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 $1,114 per month (studio $854, 1BR $856, 3BR $1,336, 4BR $1,475). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $9,688 per year, consuming 18% 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 housing, childcare. Unemployment currently reads 0.0% and poverty 15.3% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
