What these numbers say together
Jonesboro, LA (ZIP 71251) sits in Jackson Parish. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 48.1%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $8,437. 27% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Jonesboro State Bank holds 93% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. FEMA has issued 36 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1977 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 57.7" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 11,807 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Louisiana levies a flat state income tax (top rate 3.00%); a household at the local median AGI of $53,687 would pay roughly $966/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 111 residents (36 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. 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 $35,091, fair market rent of $830 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $86,189, down 10.2% 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.
- With fair market rent at $830/month (HUD SAFMR) and median household income at $35,091 (Census ACS), housing costs represent approximately 28% of income.
- Lower median household income ($35,091, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 45.3% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 26.0%. 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.
