Danvers, MA (ZIP 01937) sits in Essex County within the Boston-Cambridge-Newton metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 3.2%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $30,700. Local establishments report average pay of $31,825 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. Federal QCEW filings show 323,694 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (97th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 63th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 40 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Only 3.5% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. 30.1% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $186,229,000 in net taxable income to other counties. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: fair market rent of $2,690 for a two-bedroom and a 64.8% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

What these numbers say together
Danvers, MA (ZIP 01937) sits in Essex County within the Boston-Cambridge-Newton metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 3.2%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $30,700. Local establishments report average pay of $31,825 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. Federal QCEW filings show 323,694 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (97th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 63th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 40 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Only 3.5% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. 30.1% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $186,229,000 in net taxable income to other counties. Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: fair market rent of $2,690 for a two-bedroom and a 64.8% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 21.1%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
