What these numbers say together
Burna, KY (ZIP 42028) sits in Livingston County within the Paducah metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Health-survey coverage is limited for this ZIP. NCES lists 2 schools serving the area, 2 non-charter. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $7,314. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $57,160 per tax return. FEMA has issued 29 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1975 — a high-frequency exposure profile. County Health Rankings reports 13,207 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. New residents arriving here predominantly come from McCracken County, KY (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $37,500, fair market rent of $990 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $102,907, down 11.6% 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.
Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
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.
