What these numbers say together
Roma, TX (ZIP 78584) sits in Starr County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in above the national average at 44.8%. NCES lists 8 schools serving the area, 8 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $4,920. 51% of returns claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (IRS), a higher share than most ZIPs. Local establishments report average pay of $19,899 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $39,754 per worker, roughly 39% below the US average. BLS LAUS records a 9.5% county unemployment rate (2024) — about 5.5 points above the US average and a labor-market distress signal. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 96th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1967 — a high-frequency exposure profile. NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals put the annual average temperature at 76.6°F here — among the warmest in the country. 25.0% of residents under 65 lack health insurance per the 2025 County Health Rankings — a notable access gap. 33.9% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Texas has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $33,735) approximately $1,552/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 319 residents (216 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 $29,398, fair market rent of $980 for a two-bedroom, and a 37.4% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
These readings invert. Education density is the headline; healthcare access numbers suggest provider choice and coverage are worth shopping carefully. The two domains don’t move together at the ZIP level — both deserve their own due diligence rather than a single judgment.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($980/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 40% of median household income ($29,398, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($29,398, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 46.5% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 21.1%. 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.
