Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Denver, CO (ZIP 80203) sits in Denver County within the Denver-Aurora-Centennial metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in below the national average at 15.6%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $11,124. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $85,027, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $101,834 per worker — about 56% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association holds 95% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (75th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 29th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 11 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965. 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. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $388,565,000 in net taxable income to other counties. 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 $71,584, fair market rent of $2,460 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $357,729, down 4.7% 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
Denver, CO (ZIP 80203) sits in Denver County within the Denver-Aurora-Centennial metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in below the national average at 15.6%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $11,124. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $85,027, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $101,834 per worker — about 56% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association holds 95% of FDIC-reported deposits in this ZIP (2024) — a notably concentrated local banking market. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (75th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 29th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 11 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965. 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. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county lost $388,565,000 in net taxable income to other counties. 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 $71,584, fair market rent of $2,460 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $357,729, down 4.7% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($2,460/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 41% of median household income ($71,584, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (79% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 5 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 25.1%. 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.
