Chula Vista, CA (ZIP 91913) sits in San Diego County within the San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 23.4%. NCES lists 12 schools serving the area, 12 non-charter. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $11,807.

BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $82,854 per worker — about 27% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. The CDC SVI flags racial & ethnic minority (88th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 42th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 51 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1965 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence.

Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $124,531, fair market rent of $4,100 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $913,452, down 2.1% over the past year.
