What these numbers say together
Spout Springs, NC (ZIP 28326) sits in Harnett County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Depression comes in above the national average at 27.0%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $2,753. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $61,989, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Local establishments report average pay of $33,357 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $46,955 per worker, roughly 28% below the US average. FEMA has issued 26 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1968 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 2,802 residents (1,599 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 $78,270, fair market rent of $1,440 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $316,335, up 1.1% 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.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 27.0%. 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.
