Memphis, TN (ZIP 38103) sits in Shelby County within the Memphis metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Depression comes in above the national average at 25.9%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $13,858. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $163,464, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 482,470 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. First Horizon Bank holds 98% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. The CDC SVI flags racial & ethnic minority (61th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 30th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 28 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1973 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 55.9" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 14,564 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 32.8% 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 loss of 9,272 residents (4,439 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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.

What these numbers say together
Memphis, TN (ZIP 38103) sits in Shelby County within the Memphis metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Depression comes in above the national average at 25.9%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $13,858. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $163,464, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 482,470 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. First Horizon Bank holds 98% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. The CDC SVI flags racial & ethnic minority (61th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 30th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 28 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1973 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 55.9" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 14,564 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 32.8% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Tennessee has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $163,464) approximately $7,519/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 9,272 residents (4,439 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $89,851, fair market rent of $1,910 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $324,353, down 5.3% 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.
- With fair market rent at $1,910/month (HUD SAFMR) and median household income at $89,851 (Census ACS), housing costs represent approximately 26% of income.
