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 $27,808. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $51,776 per tax return. Local establishments report average pay of $29,619 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $42,522 per worker, roughly 35% below the US average. FEMA has issued 35 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1971 — a high-frequency exposure profile.

What these numbers say together

KY 42782 (ZIP 42782) sits in Green County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Health-survey coverage is limited for this ZIP. 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 $27,808. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $51,776 per tax return. Local establishments report average pay of $29,619 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $42,522 per worker, roughly 35% below the US average. FEMA has issued 35 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1971 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 54.4" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 11,040 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 329 residents (144 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. 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 $62,829, fair market rent of $910 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $207,101, down 2.1% 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.
