Sioux County · Population 3,469
Hawarden, IA (ZIP 51023) sits in Sioux 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 36.9%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $36,710. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $65,004, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS LAUS reports county unemployment of just 2.0% (2024), well below the ~4.0% US average and consistent with a tight local labor market. FDIC counts just 2 bank branches in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. FEMA has issued 34 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 3,914 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). USDA's Food Environment Atlas shows a strong food retail environment in this county — only 1.6% of residents are low-access and grocery density is above the national county median. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 163 residents (200 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 $71,897, fair market rent of $1,000 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $188,913, up 5.1% 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.
