New York, NY (ZIP 10029) draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 25.9%. NCES lists 29 schools serving the area, 29 non-charter. Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $35,640, fair market rent of $2,510 for a two-bedroom, and a 30.9% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($2,510/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 85% of median household income ($35,640, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (93% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 29 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
- Strong public-transit usage (62% of commuters, Census ACS B08301) contributes to a mean commute of 30 minutes (Census ACS B08303).
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 19.2%. 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.
