What these numbers say together

Poinciana, FL (ZIP 34759) sits in Polk County within the Lakeland-Winter Haven metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in above the national average at 25.3%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. 9 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $17,687. 31% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Local establishments report average pay of $31,121 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. Federal QCEW filings show 260,590 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. FEMA has issued 48 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1977 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 36.4% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 17,477 residents (8,587 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 $61,644, fair market rent of $1,910 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $278,903, down 5.5% 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 16.6%. 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.
