Hobe Sound, FL (ZIP 33455) sits in Martin County within the Port St. Lucie 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 40.3%. NCES lists 2 schools serving the area, 2 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $18,168. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $331,529, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FDIC counts just 2 bank branches in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. FEMA has issued 41 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals put the annual average temperature at 75.3°F here — among the warmest in the country. 37.9% 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 $331,529) approximately $15,250/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 1,438 residents (504 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 $72,735, fair market rent of $1,480 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $518,621, down 4.1% 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.
