What these numbers say together
West Baden Springs, IN (ZIP 47469) sits in Orange 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 42.8%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 3 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $8,649. 20% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Local establishments report average pay of $26,953 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $45,076 per worker, roughly 31% below the US average. The CDC SVI flags household composition (86th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 56th-percentile score. Severe Storm accounts for 56% of the 18 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 176 residents (45 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 $66,636, fair market rent of $960 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $201,501, up 5.3% 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.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 26.6%. 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.
