What these numbers say together
Ellsworth, ME (ZIP 04605) sits in Hancock County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in below the national average at 82.4%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. 3 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $10,050. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $71,363, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FEMA has issued 24 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual average temperature is just 45.0°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. USDA's Food Environment Atlas shows a strong food retail environment in this county — only 4.0% of residents are low-access and grocery density is above the national county median. Maine levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 7.15%); a household at the local median AGI of $71,363 would pay roughly $3,061/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 636 residents (296 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 $65,131, fair market rent of $1,450 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $338,665, down 0.2% 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 higher the national rate at 25.9%. 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.
