What these numbers say together
Elmira, NY (ZIP 14901) sits in Chemung County within the Elmira metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 39.2%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 3 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $38,976. 28% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Chemung Canal Trust Company holds 64% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 19 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972. Only 4.8% 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 $47,560 would pay roughly $3,110/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 574 residents (380 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $38,604, fair market rent of $1,160 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $105,446, up 0.2% 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 ($1,160/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 36% of median household income ($38,604, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($38,604, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 36.0% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 22.7%. 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.
