What these numbers say together
Palm Bay, FL (ZIP 32908) sits in Brevard County within the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 37.5%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 8 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $18,918. 22% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. FEMA has issued 45 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile.

IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 10,416 residents (4,882 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 $63,043, fair market rent of $2,020 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $316,933, down 3.2% 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 20.0%. 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.
