What these scores mean for ZIP 81077, Otero

Each score is out of 100. Higher is better for you: a high affordability score means cheaper relative to local incomes, and a high safety score means less crime. Comparisons are with other areas in the same country.

Safety: 80/100 · Good
Scores 80 out of 100, which is good and lower than 99% of areas in United States. In practice, reported crime is low for its size. What it measures: How safe the area is, from reported crime adjusted for population, with burglary and robbery counting most. How it is worked out: No SAPS station data for this suburb yet — safety is estimated from data-backed suburbs nearby. This is an estimate from wider-area data, not measured for this area itself. Source: Estimated from nearby areas (estimated).
Affordability: 50/100 · Below average
Scores 50 out of 100, which is below average and lower than 99% of areas in United States. What it measures: How average rent compares with what households here typically earn. How it is worked out: Average rent as a share of median monthly income. This is based on reasonable data, but not the most recent or most local. Source: Stats SA income & rental index (ACS 2020-2024 5-Year Estimates).
Schools: 12/100 · Weak
Scores 12 out of 100, which is weak and lower than 99% of areas in United States. In practice, there are few schools nearby, so check travel times to the ones you want. What it measures: How many primary and secondary schools are within reach. How it is worked out: Real schools within range by phase (primary/secondary/pre-primary), weighted toward secondary. This is based on reasonable data, but not the most recent or most local. Source: DBE National Masterlist of Schools (2020) (2020).
Property Confidence: 55/100 · About average
Scores 55 out of 100, which is about average and lower than 99% of areas in United States. What it measures: How much reliable property data we have and how stable prices look. How it is worked out: Directional year-on-year price movement — not a valuation. This is an estimate from wider-area data, not measured for this area itself. Source: Deeds transfer trend (ACS 2020-2024 5-Year Estimates).
