Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Boston, MA (ZIP 02108) sits in Suffolk County within the Boston-Cambridge-Newton metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 19.8%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $52,303. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $868,895, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $116,015 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $131,280 per worker — about 101% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (72th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 33th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 38 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile.

USDA's Food Environment Atlas shows a strong food retail environment in this county — only 1.0% of residents are low-access and grocery density is above the national county median. Massachusetts levies a flat state income tax (top rate 9.00%); a household at the local median AGI of $868,895 would pay roughly $46,920/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 12,370 residents (3,683 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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: median household income $170,379, fair market rent of $3,670 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $1,670,302, down 0.4% over the past year.

What these numbers say together
Boston, MA (ZIP 02108) sits in Suffolk County within the Boston-Cambridge-Newton metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 19.8%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $52,303. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $868,895, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $116,015 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $131,280 per worker — about 101% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (72th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 33th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 38 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Only 3.1% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. USDA's Food Environment Atlas shows a strong food retail environment in this county — only 1.0% of residents are low-access and grocery density is above the national county median. Massachusetts levies a flat state income tax (top rate 9.00%); a household at the local median AGI of $868,895 would pay roughly $46,920/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 12,370 residents (3,683 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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: median household income $170,379, fair market rent of $3,670 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $1,670,302, down 0.4% over the past year. 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.
- With fair market rent at $3,670/month (HUD SAFMR) and median household income at $170,379 (Census ACS), housing costs represent approximately 26% of income.
- A median household income of $170,379 (Census ACS) aligns with a 19.8% obesity rate (CDC PLACES), below the ~33% national figure — a pattern that correlates with higher-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 23.6%. 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.
