What these numbers say together
Baltimore, MD (ZIP 21226) sits in Baltimore city within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 9.2%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $10,860. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $62,030, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $82,818 per worker — about 26% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FEMA has issued 25 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1971 — a high-frequency exposure profile. County Health Rankings reports 15,998 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. USDA's Food Environment Atlas shows a strong food retail environment in this county — only 4.5% of residents are low-access and grocery density is above the national county median. Maryland levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.75%); a household at the local median AGI of $62,030 would pay roughly $2,140/year before deductions. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $405,445,000 in net taxable income to other counties. 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 $71,500, fair market rent of $1,770 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $313,745, up 1.0% 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 higher the national rate at 24.4%. 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.
