Falun, KS (ZIP 67442) sits in Saline County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 42.6%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $27,000. Local establishments report average pay of $34,000 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $50,682 per worker, roughly 23% below the US average.

Severe Storm accounts for 65% of the 17 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 11-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 450 residents (264 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $44,750, fair market rent of $980 for a two-bedroom, and a 34.8% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

What these numbers say together
Falun, KS (ZIP 67442) sits in Saline County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 42.6%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $27,000. Local establishments report average pay of $34,000 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $50,682 per worker, roughly 23% below the US average. The CDC SVI flags household composition (72th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 26th-percentile score. Severe Storm accounts for 65% of the 17 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 11-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 450 residents (264 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $44,750, fair market rent of $980 for a two-bedroom, and a 34.8% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). 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 21.4%. 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.
