Raleigh, NC (ZIP 27601) draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Depression comes in above the national average at 25.6%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter.

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 25.6%. 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.
