What these numbers say together
Palmer Ranch, FL (ZIP 34238) sits in Sarasota County within the North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota 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 43.7%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $17,048. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $166,010, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FEMA has issued 48 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1968 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 61.1" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. 32.9% 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 $166,010) approximately $7,636/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 4,594 residents (1,369 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 $91,936, fair market rent of $2,350 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $501,646, down 7.3% 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 16.5%. 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.
