Washington County · Glens Falls, NY · Population 2,378
NY 12821 (ZIP 12821) sits in Washington County within the Glens Falls metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Depression comes in below the national average at 14.5%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $11,500. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $58,233 per tax return. FEMA has issued 16 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1976. Annual average temperature is just 44.3°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. Only 5.4% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. New York levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 10.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $58,233 would pay roughly $3,808/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Saratoga County, NY (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $29,732, fair market rent of $1,240 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $242,719, down 0.7% 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.

Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 14.5%. 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.
