What these numbers say together
Wilmington, DE (ZIP 19803) 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: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 5.0%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $13,920. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $148,177, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $88,182 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. Federal QCEW filings show 303,806 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. Comenity Bank holds 64% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 20th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. Hurricane accounts for 53% of the 17 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Annual precipitation averages 50.3" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. 28.6% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Delaware levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 6.60%); a household at the local median AGI of $148,177 would pay roughly $5,868/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Philadelphia County, PA (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). 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 $122,853, fair market rent of $2,190 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $504,462, up 4.7% 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.
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.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 20.8%. 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.
