What these numbers say together
Castalia, NC (ZIP 27816) sits in Franklin County within the Raleigh-Cary metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 42.6%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $2,753. 23% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. FEMA has issued 30 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1968 — a high-frequency exposure profile. North Carolina levies a flat state income tax (top rate 4.25%); a household at the local median AGI of $51,055 would pay roughly $1,302/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 2,522 residents (1,165 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. 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 $31,702, fair market rent of $1,350 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $227,964, up 1.8% 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 ($1,350/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 51% of median household income ($31,702, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($31,702, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 39.2% 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 24.8%. 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.
