Tanque Verde, AZ (ZIP 85749) sits in Pima County within the Tucson metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 5.5%. NCES lists 12 schools serving the area, 12 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $13,926. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $135,475, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 386,312 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 16th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. Flood accounts for 53% of the 15 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Annual precipitation averages just 11.7" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. 28.6% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county netted $244,732,000 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 $108,223, fair market rent of $1,720 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $649,158, down 1.5% over the past year.

IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $135,475, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 386,312 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. FDIC counts just 1 bank branch in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 16th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. Flood accounts for 53% of the 15 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Annual precipitation averages just 11.7" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. 28.6% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county netted $244,732,000 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 $108,223, fair market rent of $1,720 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $649,158, down 1.5% over the past year.

These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 21.6%. 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.
