Kasson, MN (ZIP 55944) sits in Dodge County within the Rochester metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 6.5%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 8 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,432. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $77,701, well above the ~$45K national average per return. 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. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (77th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 38th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 18 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965. Annual average temperature is just 43.3°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,217 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). Minnesota levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 9.85%); a household at the local median AGI of $77,701 would pay roughly $4,592/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 196 residents (123 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 $92,342, fair market rent of $1,210 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $323,995, up 5.2% 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.

What these numbers say together
Kasson, MN (ZIP 55944) sits in Dodge County within the Rochester metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 6.5%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 8 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,432. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $77,701, well above the ~$45K national average per return. 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. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (77th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 38th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 18 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965. Annual average temperature is just 43.3°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,217 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). Minnesota levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 9.85%); a household at the local median AGI of $77,701 would pay roughly $4,592/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 196 residents (123 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 $92,342, fair market rent of $1,210 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $323,995, up 5.2% 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 higher the national rate at 24.4%. 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.
