What these numbers say together
Mount Pleasant, WI (ZIP 53406) sits in Racine County within the Racine-Mount Pleasant metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 41.3%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 2 colleges and universities serve the area. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $75,955, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FEMA has issued 16 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1969. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Milwaukee County, WI (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). 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 $73,636, fair market rent of $1,200 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $323,416, up 5.0% 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 near the national rate at 21.8%. 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.
