What these numbers say together
La Vernia, TX (ZIP 78121) sits in Wilson County within the San Antonio-New Braunfels metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity tracks close to the national average at 33.9%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $14,206. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $104,252, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,619 per worker, roughly 21% 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 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Median daily AQI is just 7 per EPA AQS (2024), comfortably inside the Good range, with NO₂ as the primary pollutant on most measured days. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 6-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. Texas has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $104,252) approximately $4,796/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 895 residents (282 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 $114,338, fair market rent of $1,330 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $499,965, up 0.7% 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.
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.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 22.6%. 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.
