NCES lists 2 schools serving the area, 2 non-charter. 2 colleges and universities serve the area. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $54,613 per tax return.

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.
