Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Wadsworth, NV (ZIP 89442) sits in Washoe County within the Reno metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 36.0%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $128,947 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. FEMA has issued 50 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages just 7.4" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. 30.1% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Nevada has no state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025). Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county netted $207,629,000 in incoming taxable income — a wealth-inflow signal even when headcount churn is modest. 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 $58,239, fair market rent of $1,550 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $406,190, down 0.9% 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.

What these numbers say together
Wadsworth, NV (ZIP 89442) sits in Washoe County within the Reno metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 36.0%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 1 college or university serves the area. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $128,947 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. FEMA has issued 50 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages just 7.4" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. 30.1% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Nevada has no state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025). Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county netted $207,629,000 in incoming taxable income — a wealth-inflow signal even when headcount churn is modest. 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 $58,239, fair market rent of $1,550 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $406,190, down 0.9% 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.
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 higher the national rate at 24.2%. 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.
