What these numbers say together
North Platte, NE (ZIP 69101) sits in Lincoln County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 40.9%. NCES lists 10 schools serving the area, 10 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $3,600. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $69,629, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $52,150 per worker, roughly 20% below the US average. FEMA has issued 21 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1994 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 4-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 347 residents (173 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $60,724, fair market rent of $1,070 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $208,939, up 6.6% 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.
These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 19.4%. 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.
