IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $101,075, well above the ~$45K national average per return.

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 $65,197, fair market rent of $1,040 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $245,818, up 7.7% over the past year.

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.
