How affordability is measured

Cost of living and housing pressure on residents.

The affordability score is the flip side of our economic strain measure — 100 minus the raw economic strain score — so a city with less of it scores higher.

Data sources: Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment, HUD Fair Market Rent and US Census median income plus poverty rate.
