Maricopa County · Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ · Population 54,556
Gilbert, AZ (ZIP 85295) sits in Maricopa County within the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler 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 23.6%. NCES lists 13 schools serving the area, 13 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $12,200. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $103,173, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 2,280,645 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 18th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 26 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1966 — a high-frequency exposure profile. EPA AQS records a median daily AQI of 77 for the primary county (2024) — in the Moderate-to-Unhealthy band, with ozone as the primary pollutant on most measured days. 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. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county netted $1,323,319,000 in incoming taxable income — a wealth-inflow signal even when headcount churn is modest. Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $113,168, fair market rent of $2,300 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $547,731, down 1.9% 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.
