What these numbers say together
WV 25063 (ZIP 25063) sits in Braxton County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 48.9%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 3 colleges and universities serve the area. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $48,320 per tax return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $45,932 per worker, roughly 30% below the US average. FEMA has issued 36 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1967 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 51.0" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 12,079 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. West Virginia levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 4.82%); a household at the local median AGI of $48,320 would pay roughly $1,397/year before deductions. 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 $34,261, fair market rent of $950 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $148,257, down 5.2% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($950/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 33% of median household income ($34,261, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($34,261, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 40.3% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 29.8%. 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.
