Roselle Park, NJ (ZIP 07204) sits in Union County within the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Depression comes in below the national average at 14.5%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $11,450. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $73,615, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $84,322 per worker — about 29% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FEMA has issued 30 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 $73,615 would pay roughly $4,748/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 3,931 residents (2,438 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $97,769, fair market rent of $2,050 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $537,979, up 0.8% 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.

Roselle Park, NJ (ZIP 07204) sits in Union County within the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Depression comes in below the national average at 14.5%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $11,450. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $73,615, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $84,322 per worker — about 29% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FEMA has issued 30 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 $73,615 would pay roughly $4,748/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 3,931 residents (2,438 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $97,769, fair market rent of $2,050 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $537,979, up 0.8% 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 lower the national rate at 14.5%. 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.
