Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Albany, NY (ZIP 12202) sits in Albany County within the Albany-Schenectady-Troy metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 40.1%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $18,374. 34% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $82,387 per worker — about 26% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 83th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1987 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Only 4.5% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. 31.4% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. New York levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 10.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $38,364 would pay roughly $2,509/year before deductions. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $201,128,000 in net taxable income to other counties. 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 $45,172, fair market rent of $1,420 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $175,023, up 4.7% 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.

What these numbers say together
Albany, NY (ZIP 12202) sits in Albany County within the Albany-Schenectady-Troy metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 40.1%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $18,374. 34% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $82,387 per worker — about 26% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 83th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1987 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Only 4.5% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. 31.4% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. New York levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 10.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $38,364 would pay roughly $2,509/year before deductions. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $201,128,000 in net taxable income to other counties. 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 $45,172, fair market rent of $1,420 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $175,023, up 4.7% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,420/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 38% of median household income ($45,172, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (80% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 5 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 20.9%. 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.
