Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 20.5%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 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 $193,953, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $101,208 per worker — about 55% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 10th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. 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. Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 4,240 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 40.3% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. New Jersey levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 10.75%); a household at the local median AGI of $193,953 would pay roughly $12,510/year before deductions. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $218,194,000 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 $153,977, fair market rent of $2,650 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $851,343, up 3.7% 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.
