Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Norco, LA (ZIP 70079) sits in St. Charles Parish within the New Orleans-Metairie metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 39.1%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $8,853. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $75,526, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $193,396 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $97,088 per worker — about 48% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. FEMA has issued 51 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 63.4" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. Only 5.5% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 47.2% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Louisiana levies a flat state income tax (top rate 3.00%); a household at the local median AGI of $75,526 would pay roughly $1,359/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 546 residents (342 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 $70,717, fair market rent of $1,350 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $207,638, up 3.3% 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.

What these numbers say together
Norco, LA (ZIP 70079) sits in St. Charles Parish within the New Orleans-Metairie metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 39.1%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $8,853. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $75,526, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $193,396 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $97,088 per worker — about 48% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. FEMA has issued 51 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 63.4" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. Only 5.5% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 47.2% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Louisiana levies a flat state income tax (top rate 3.00%); a household at the local median AGI of $75,526 would pay roughly $1,359/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 546 residents (342 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 $70,717, fair market rent of $1,350 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $207,638, up 3.3% 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 higher the national rate at 28.3%. 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.
