What these numbers say together
Walhalla, SC (ZIP 29691) sits in Oconee County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 39.1%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $14,737. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $53,429 per tax return. FEMA has issued 24 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1977 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 61.1" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. South Carolina levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 6.20%); a household at the local median AGI of $53,429 would pay roughly $1,988/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 2,016 residents (925 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 $50,854, fair market rent of $900 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $231,501, up 4.6% 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 26.4%. 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.
