IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $158,974, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Census ZBP marks the area as a major commercial hub with 2,643 business establishments. Federal QCEW filings show 779,560 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. The Huntington National Bank holds 68% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 19th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 20 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1974 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 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.

IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 9,643 residents (2,379 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 $75,397, fair market rent of $2,150 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $345,737, down 3.7% over the past year.
