What these numbers say together

Belton, TX (ZIP 76513) sits in Bell County within the Killeen-Temple metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in above the national average at 40.0%. NCES lists 13 schools serving the area, 13 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,557. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $91,423, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1974 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 31.3% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Williamson County, TX (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Schools are the headline here — lots of options at varying types — while healthcare access numbers suggest worth-shopping coverage and provider choice carefully. Notable: median household income $76,564, fair market rent of $1,300 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $306,316, down 1.6% 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 25.8%. 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.
