What these numbers say together
Dahlgren Center, VA (ZIP 22448) sits in King George County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in below the national average at 19.9%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $14,640. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $87,825, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $104,935 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $94,680 per worker — about 45% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 24th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 27 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Virginia levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.75%); a household at the local median AGI of $87,825 would pay roughly $3,030/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Spotsylvania County, VA (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 $82,188, fair market rent of $1,920 for a two-bedroom, and a low 1.0% poverty rate. 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.
- With fair market rent at $1,920/month (HUD SAFMR) and median household income at $82,188 (Census ACS), housing costs represent approximately 28% of income.
- As a predominantly renter community (100% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 1 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 23.9%. 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.
