What these numbers say together
Durham, NC (ZIP 27703) sits in Durham County within the Durham-Chapel Hill metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 38.4%. NCES lists 13 schools serving the area, 13 non-charter. 5 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,699. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $78,651, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $92,910 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $98,601 per worker — about 51% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FEMA has issued 29 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1968 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 33.0% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. North Carolina levies a flat state income tax (top rate 4.25%); a household at the local median AGI of $78,651 would pay roughly $2,006/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Wake County, NC (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $82,056, fair market rent of $1,750 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $388,769, down 3.5% 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 22.6%. 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.
