What these numbers say together
Cuney, TX (ZIP 75759) sits in Cherokee County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 48.6%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,736. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $88,243 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,098 per worker, roughly 22% below the US average. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 85th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. FEMA has issued 28 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1987 — a high-frequency exposure profile. County Health Rankings reports 11,652 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 33.7% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Texas has no state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025). IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 297 residents (65 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 $25,156, fair market rent of $1,110 for a two-bedroom, and a 42.4% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,110/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 53% of median household income ($25,156, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($25,156, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 41.3% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 19.6%. 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.
