What these numbers say together

Panama City, FL (ZIP 32405) sits in Bay County within the Panama City-Panama City Beach metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 37.6%. NCES lists 14 schools serving the area, 14 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $3,120. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $66,434, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FEMA has issued 49 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1975 — a high-frequency exposure profile. County Health Rankings reports 11,538 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 31.5% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 6,212 residents (3,255 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $68,070, fair market rent of $1,700 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $291,312, down 1.2% 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 20.8%. 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.
