What these numbers say together
Defuniak Springs, FL (ZIP 32435) sits in Walton County within the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin 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 39.4%. NCES lists 8 schools serving the area, 8 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 $61,837, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Local establishments report average pay of $32,840 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. FEMA has issued 42 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1975 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 64.6" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. 34.6% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Florida has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $61,837) approximately $2,845/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 3,812 residents (1,645 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 $68,208, fair market rent of $1,090 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $242,237, down 1.4% 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 lower the national rate at 19.4%. 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.
