What these numbers say together
Cranston, RI (ZIP 02921) sits in Providence County within the Providence-Warwick metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in below the national average at 85.1%. NCES lists 2 schools serving the area, 2 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $47,548. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $125,554, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 288,107 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 15th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 25 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1978 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Rhode Island levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.99%); a household at the local median AGI of $125,554 would pay roughly $4,512/year before deductions. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $117,473,000 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: median household income $123,066, fair market rent of $2,140 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $635,478, up 3.5% 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.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 22.6%. 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.
