Marshall County · Population 1,435
Newfolden, MN (ZIP 56738) sits in Marshall County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 39.2%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,289. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $73,682, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $119,522 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. 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. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 22th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 30 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual average temperature is just 39.5°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 61.0% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Minnesota levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 9.85%); a household at the local median AGI of $73,682 would pay roughly $4,355/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Pennington 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 $68,611, fair market rent of $980 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $169,400. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
