Yerington, NV

The affordability dashboard for Yerington, NV aggregates Census ACS 5-Year Estimates across 1 ZIP code covering 7,931 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 $56,691, median home value of $277,500, median rent of $793 per month, and 12.5% 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 $1,272 per month (studio $1,070, 1BR $1,076, 3BR $1,769, 4BR $2,134). Department of Labor data lists infant center-based childcare at $8,242 per year, consuming 15% 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, housing. Unemployment currently reads 3.9% and poverty 15.5% — numbers worth keeping alongside the headline grade.
