Harris County · Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX · Population 53,401
Houston, TX (ZIP 77082) sits in Harris County within the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in above the national average at 17.7%. NCES lists 8 schools serving the area, 8 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,173. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $76,166, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $88,554 per worker — about 35% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. FEMA has issued 43 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1973 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 22.2% of residents under 65 lack health insurance per the 2025 County Health Rankings — a notable access gap. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 22,230 residents (7,547 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $55,962, fair market rent of $1,650 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $255,078, down 2.9% 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.
