What these numbers say together
Knoxville, TN (ZIP 37902) sits in Knox County within the Knoxville metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Depression comes in above the national average at 31.5%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 8 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $16,174. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $218,423, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 260,373 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (78th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 41th-percentile score. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was winter storm-related (SEVERE WINTER STORM, 2026). Annual precipitation averages 51.9" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 11,096 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 41.2% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Tennessee has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $218,423) approximately $10,047/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 4,148 residents (2,403 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 $62,500, fair market rent of $1,840 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $640,891, up 3.0% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,840/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 35% of median household income ($62,500, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (81% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 1 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 31.5%. 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.
