Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Short Hills, NJ (ZIP 07041) sits in Essex County within the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 18.8%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $15,912. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $228,320, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $88,369 per worker — about 35% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. The CDC SVI flags racial & ethnic minority (68th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 33th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 33 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 50.4" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. New Jersey levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 10.75%); a household at the local median AGI of $228,320 would pay roughly $14,727/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 7,694 residents (4,108 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 $199,602, fair market rent of $2,680 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $1,250,845, up 8.4% 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.

What these numbers say together
Short Hills, NJ (ZIP 07041) sits in Essex County within the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 18.8%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $15,912. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $228,320, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $88,369 per worker — about 35% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. The CDC SVI flags racial & ethnic minority (68th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 33th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 33 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 50.4" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. New Jersey levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 10.75%); a household at the local median AGI of $228,320 would pay roughly $14,727/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 7,694 residents (4,108 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 $199,602, fair market rent of $2,680 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $1,250,845, up 8.4% 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 $2,680/month (HUD SAFMR) and median household income at $199,602 (Census ACS), housing costs represent approximately 16% of income.
- A median household income of $199,602 (Census ACS) aligns with a 18.8% obesity rate (CDC PLACES), below the ~33% national figure — a pattern that correlates with higher-income areas.
- Strong public-transit usage (26% of commuters, Census ACS B08301) contributes to a mean commute of 32 minutes (Census ACS B08303).
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 14.1%. 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.
