Okaloosa County · Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, FL · Population 34,124
Wright, FL (ZIP 32547) sits in Okaloosa County within the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Depression comes in below the national average at 19.5%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. 8 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $4,472. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $62,822, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FEMA has issued 41 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1970 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 41.5% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county netted $113,211,000 in incoming taxable income — a wealth-inflow signal even when headcount churn is modest. 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 $61,407, fair market rent of $1,690 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $316,017, 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.

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 lower the national rate at 19.5%. 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.
