Faribault County · Population 426
Frost, MN (ZIP 56033) sits in Faribault County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 8.3%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $14,805. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $78,061, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Local establishments report average pay of $32,793 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,879 per worker, roughly 21% below the US average. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. The CDC SVI flags household composition (73th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 42th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 22 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Minnesota levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 9.85%); a household at the local median AGI of $78,061 would pay roughly $4,613/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Blue Earth County, MN (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 $72,500, fair market rent of $970 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $76,400. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
