El Paso, TX (ZIP 79922) sits in El Paso County within the El Paso metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 28.6%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,744. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $214,549, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $50,230 per worker, roughly 23% below the US average. FEMA has issued 26 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages just 10.1" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. 23.5% of residents under 65 lack health insurance per the 2025 County Health Rankings — a notable access gap. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 7-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 $214,549) approximately $9,869/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 4,530 residents (2,160 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $90,278, fair market rent of $1,550 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $416,897, up 2.7% 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.

What these numbers say together
El Paso, TX (ZIP 79922) sits in El Paso County within the El Paso metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 28.6%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,744. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $214,549, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $50,230 per worker, roughly 23% below the US average. FEMA has issued 26 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages just 10.1" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. 23.5% of residents under 65 lack health insurance per the 2025 County Health Rankings — a notable access gap. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 7-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 $214,549) approximately $9,869/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 4,530 residents (2,160 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $90,278, fair market rent of $1,550 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $416,897, up 2.7% 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 lower the national rate at 18.3%. 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.
