What these numbers say together
Alexandria, LA (ZIP 71301) sits in Rapides Parish within the Alexandria 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 49.5%. NCES lists 10 schools serving the area, 10 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $7,050. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $69,010, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,777 per worker, roughly 21% below the US average. Red River Bank holds 86% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 81th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. FEMA has issued 49 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 57.5" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. County Health Rankings reports 15,366 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 40.6% 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 $69,010 would pay roughly $1,242/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 609 residents (543 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 $42,314, fair market rent of $980 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $107,677, down 2.0% 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 higher the national rate at 26.2%. 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.
