La Marque, TX (ZIP 77568) sits in Galveston County within the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 39.4%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $2,505. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $60,610, well above the ~$45K national average per return.

FEMA has issued 31 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1973 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 60.2" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. 34.5% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap.
