Junction, TX (ZIP 76849) sits in Kimble County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 42.6%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area, with median in-state tuition of $34,982. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $67,641, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $46,026 per worker, roughly 30% below the US average. FDIC counts just 2 bank branches in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1978 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 21.6% of residents under 65 lack health insurance per the 2025 County Health Rankings — a notable access gap. Texas has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $67,641) approximately $3,111/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 17 residents (12 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 $58,413, fair market rent of $990 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $189,600. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
