What these numbers say together
Port Charlotte, FL (ZIP 33953) sits in Charlotte County within the Punta Gorda metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 47.6%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $4,760. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $96,130, 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 42 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1968 — a high-frequency exposure profile. NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals put the annual average temperature at 75.8°F here — among the warmest in the country. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 49.2% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Florida has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $96,130) approximately $4,422/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 4,627 residents (2,219 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 $73,294, fair market rent of $1,990 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $312,067, down 10.3% 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 16.1%. 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.
