What these numbers say together
Mantoloking, NJ (ZIP 08738) sits in Ocean County within the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 4.2%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $10,950. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $487,190, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $99,205 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 16th 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. Only 5.8% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 43.6% 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 $487,190 would pay roughly $31,424/year before deductions. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county netted $147,130,000 in incoming taxable income — a wealth-inflow signal even when headcount churn is modest. 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 $190,625, fair market rent of $2,670 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $2,128,350, up 9.8% 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.
- With fair market rent at $2,670/month (HUD SAFMR) and median household income at $190,625 (Census ACS), housing costs represent approximately 17% of income.
- A median household income of $190,625 (Census ACS) aligns with a 24.3% obesity rate (CDC PLACES), below the ~33% national figure — a pattern that correlates with higher-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 13.4%. 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.
