What these numbers say together

Brookside, DE (ZIP 19713) sits in New Castle County within the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 35.3%. NCES lists 10 schools serving the area, 10 non-charter. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $14,720. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $62,121, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 303,806 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. Hurricane accounts for 53% of the 17 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. 28.6% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Philadelphia County, PA (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $67,088, fair market rent of $1,680 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $314,931, up 3.8% 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.

These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.

One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 22.1%. 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.
