What these numbers say together
Gainesville, FL (ZIP 32603) sits in Alachua County within the Gainesville metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in below the national average at 16.6%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 8 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,129. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $62,020, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Local establishments report average pay of $23,370 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. The CDC SVI flags socioeconomic (68th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 36th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 35 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1993 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. Florida has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $62,020) approximately $2,853/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Marion County, FL (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 $12,894, fair market rent of $1,430 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $404,887, up 1.1% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,430/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 133% of median household income ($12,894, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (92% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 1 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 25.6%. 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.
