Hoffman, NC (ZIP 28347) sits in Richmond County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 42.0%. 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. 36% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Local establishments report average pay of $34,477 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $46,814 per worker, roughly 28% below the US average. FEMA has issued 24 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 $37,390 would pay roughly $953/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Moore County, NC (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $37,462, fair market rent of $1,030 for a two-bedroom, and a 24.6% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 22.1%. 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.
