Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Laconia, NH (ZIP 03246) sits in Belknap County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 7.6%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 5 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $16,876. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $90,075, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS LAUS reports county unemployment of just 2.4% (2024), well below the ~4.0% US average and consistent with a tight local labor market. Bank of New Hampshire holds 69% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 30 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1973 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. New Hampshire has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $90,075) approximately $4,143/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 666 residents (166 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. 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 $68,024, fair market rent of $1,770 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $434,142, up 2.3% 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.

What these numbers say together
Laconia, NH (ZIP 03246) sits in Belknap County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 7.6%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 5 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $16,876. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $90,075, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS LAUS reports county unemployment of just 2.4% (2024), well below the ~4.0% US average and consistent with a tight local labor market. Bank of New Hampshire holds 69% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 30 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1973 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. New Hampshire has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $90,075) approximately $4,143/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 666 residents (166 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. 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 $68,024, fair market rent of $1,770 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $434,142, up 2.3% 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 23.8%. 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.
