What these numbers say together
Emmett, KS (ZIP 66422) sits in Pottawatomie County within the Manhattan metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 38.2%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $53,600 per tax return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,426 per worker, roughly 21% below the US average. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (86th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 41th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1967 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Kansas levies a flat state income tax (top rate 5.58%); a household at the local median AGI of $53,600 would pay roughly $1,795/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Riley County, KS (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 $67,977, fair market rent of $970 for a two-bedroom, and a low 3.0% poverty rate. 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 21.0%. 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.
