Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Norfolk, VA (ZIP 23502) sits in Norfolk city within the Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk 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 42.0%. NCES lists 10 schools serving the area, 10 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $15,569. 24% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Hurricane accounts for 56% of the 18 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. County Health Rankings reports 11,579 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 6-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. Virginia levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.75%); a household at the local median AGI of $54,753 would pay roughly $1,889/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 2,679 residents (367 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $65,421, fair market rent of $1,580 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $306,494, up 0.9% 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.

What these numbers say together
Norfolk, VA (ZIP 23502) sits in Norfolk city within the Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk 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 42.0%. NCES lists 10 schools serving the area, 10 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $15,569. 24% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Hurricane accounts for 56% of the 18 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. County Health Rankings reports 11,579 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 6-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. Virginia levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 5.75%); a household at the local median AGI of $54,753 would pay roughly $1,889/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 2,679 residents (367 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $65,421, fair market rent of $1,580 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $306,494, up 0.9% 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 20.5%. 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.
