What these numbers say together
Pointe A La Hache, LA (ZIP 70082) sits in Plaquemines Parish within the New Orleans-Metairie metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 50.1%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $8,853. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $88,198 per worker — about 35% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FEMA has issued 45 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile.

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 22.2%. 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.
