What these numbers say together

Vincennes, IN (ZIP 47591) sits in Knox County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 38.7%.

IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $62,900, well above the ~$45K national average per return.
