What these numbers say together

Leadwood, MO (ZIP 63653) sits in St. Francois County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 42.0%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,660. 35% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Local establishments report average pay of $16,308 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $43,743 per worker, roughly 33% below the US average. FEMA has issued 20 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1976 — a high-frequency exposure profile. County Health Rankings reports 12,667 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Missouri levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 4.70%); a household at the local median AGI of $38,868 would pay roughly $1,096/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 467 residents (248 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 $37,426, fair market rent of $960 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $85,797, down 4.1% 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.

  • Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($960/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 31% of median household income ($37,426, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
  • Lower median household income ($37,426, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 42.0% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.

One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 29.0%. 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.
