What these numbers say together

Dukedom, TN (ZIP 38226) sits in Weakley County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 46.9%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $14,636. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $49,467 per tax return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $44,884 per worker, roughly 31% below the US average. FEMA has issued 21 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1975 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 53.6" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 11,927 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. Tennessee has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $49,467) approximately $2,275/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 216 residents (117 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 $20,042, fair market rent of $940 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $208,819, up 15.6% 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 ($940/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 56% of median household income ($20,042, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
  • Lower median household income ($20,042, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 45.0% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.

One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 30.7%. 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.
