What these numbers say together
Red Bud, IL (ZIP 62278) sits in Monroe County within the St. Louis 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 6.4%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 5 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $32,200. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $82,813, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $48,706 per worker, roughly 26% below the US average. Dieterich Bank holds 66% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. The CDC SVI flags household composition (59th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 28th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1969 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Only 3.8% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. 37.4% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. New residents arriving here predominantly come from St. Clair County, IL (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 $77,059, fair market rent of $1,000 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $252,667, up 15.3% 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.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 22.3%. 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.
