What these numbers say together
Williston Highlands, FL (ZIP 32696) sits in Levy 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 above the national average at 42.3%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 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 $76,763, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $43,623 per worker, roughly 33% below the US average. Seacoast National Bank holds 84% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 49 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1968 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 57.1" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 10,862 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Florida has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $76,763) approximately $3,531/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 1,432 residents (687 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 $54,688, fair market rent of $1,430 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $288,719, 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 18.8%. 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.
