What these numbers say together
Clifton, AZ (ZIP 85533) sits in Greenlee County. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Depression comes in below the national average at 17.7%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $2,352. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $69,818, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Local establishments report average pay of $33,959 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $88,182 per worker — about 35% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. BLS LAUS reports county unemployment of just 2.4% (2024), well below the ~4.0% US average and consistent with a tight local labor market. FEMA has issued 15 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1966. County Health Rankings reports 11,217 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. 32.9% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Graham County, AZ (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $56,402, fair market rent of $1,140 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $77,300. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 17.7%. 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.
