What these numbers say together

New Orleans, LA (ZIP 70148) sits in Orleans Parish within the New Orleans-Metairie metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in below the national average at 12.4%. 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 $19,975. Local establishments report average pay of $33,128 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. The CDC SVI flags racial & ethnic minority (75th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 30th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 39 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1998 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 60.1" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 13,811 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 4,713 residents (2,087 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 $2,499, fair market rent of $1,340 for a two-bedroom, and a 85.1% 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 higher the national rate at 28.1%. 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.
