Shirley, NY (ZIP 11967) sits in Suffolk County within the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Depression comes in below the national average at 18.1%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $67,678, well above the ~$45K national average per return.

FEMA has issued 36 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile.

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 18.1%. 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.
