Brooklyn, NY (ZIP 11220) draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 21.7%. NCES lists 13 schools serving the area, 13 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 $62,804, fair market rent of $2,590 for a two-bedroom, and a 22.2% 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 ($2,590/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 49% of median household income ($62,804, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
