What these numbers say together
Memphis, TN (ZIP 38122) sits in Shelby County within the Memphis metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in above the national average at 23.6%. NCES lists 11 schools serving the area, 11 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $13,796. 30% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Federal QCEW filings show 482,470 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 77th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. FEMA has issued 28 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1973 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 57.2" — 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 $41,100) approximately $1,891/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 and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $45,065, fair market rent of $1,240 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $125,871, down 2.5% 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.
These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 28.4%. 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.
