Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Boston, MA (ZIP 02163) 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: High Blood Pressure comes in below the national average at 11.8%. 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 $115,983, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $95,728 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 (94th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 38th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 38 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile.

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 $67,969, fair market rent of $4,290 for a two-bedroom, and a 36.1% 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 higher the national rate at 25.2%. 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.
