Canyon Creek, MT (ZIP 59633) sits in Lewis and Clark County within the Helena 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 7.7%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $22,815. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $91,100, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Local establishments report average pay of $30,333 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 16th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. Fire accounts for 50% of the 16 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Annual precipitation averages just 13.8" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. Montana levies a flat state income tax (top rate 5.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $91,100 would pay roughly $3,225/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Gallatin County, MT (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: fair market rent of $1,510 for a two-bedroom, a typical home value of $505,811, up 3.0% over the past year, and a median home value of $409,500. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
