IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 15 residents (-2 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. 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 $44,861, fair market rent of $930 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $137,500. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
