What these numbers say together

Williston, ND (ZIP 58801) sits in Williams County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 40.1%. NCES lists 21 schools serving the area, 21 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,128. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $102,600, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $82,012 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $91,464 per worker — about 40% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. BLS LAUS reports county unemployment of just 2.5% (2024), well below the ~4.0% US average and consistent with a tight local labor market. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was fire-related (WILDFIRES AND STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS, 2024). 30.6% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 833 residents (584 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $85,913, fair market rent of $1,200 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $364,341, up 7.8% 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.

These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.

One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 21.6%. 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.
