What these numbers say together
Paris, MS (ZIP 38913) sits in Calhoun 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 46.7%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $7,692. 24% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Local establishments report average pay of $12,250 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $38,736 per worker, roughly 41% below the US average. FEMA has issued 29 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1971 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 58.6" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 15,132 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. USDA's Food Environment Atlas shows a strong food retail environment in this county — only 3.1% of residents are low-access and grocery density is above the national county median. Mississippi levies a flat state income tax (top rate 4.40%); a household at the local median AGI of $43,206 would pay roughly $1,141/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Chickasaw County, MS (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). 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: fair market rent of $1,170 for a two-bedroom, a typical home value of $166,974, down 4.5% over the past year, and a 53.3% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). 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 near the national rate at 20.8%. 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.
