Detroit, MI (ZIP 48216) sits in Wayne County within the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27.

NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $15,190. 21% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Federal QCEW filings show 725,504 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association holds 68% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was flood-related (SEVERE STORMS, TORNADOES, AND FLOODING, 2024). County Health Rankings reports 12,684 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median.

What these numbers say together
Detroit, MI (ZIP 48216) sits in Wayne County within the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 40.2%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $15,190. 21% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Federal QCEW filings show 725,504 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association holds 68% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was flood-related (SEVERE STORMS, TORNADOES, AND FLOODING, 2024). County Health Rankings reports 12,684 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 8,638 residents (4,474 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $41,066, fair market rent of $1,130 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $195,893, down 1.9% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,130/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 33% of median household income ($41,066, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (67% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 4 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 25.0%. 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.
