What these numbers say together
Sault Ste. Marie, MI (ZIP 49783) sits in Chippewa County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Depression comes in above the national average at 28.5%. NCES lists 9 schools serving the area, 9 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,340. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $55,551 per tax return. BLS LAUS records a 6.4% county unemployment rate (2024) — about 2.4 points above the US average and a labor-market distress signal. Central Savings Bank holds 71% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 7 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1977. Annual average temperature is just 42.3°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Mackinac County, MI (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $57,667, fair market rent of $1,070 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $190,673, up 2.7% 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.
These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 28.5%. 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.
