What these numbers say together
Santa Barbara, CA (ZIP 93109) sits in Santa Barbara County within the Santa Maria-Santa Barbara metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 24.2%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 6 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $16,414. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $174,480, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FDIC counts just 2 bank branches in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. FEMA has issued 43 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1969 — a high-frequency exposure profile. California levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 13.30%); a household at the local median AGI of $174,480 would pay roughly $13,924/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 4,826 residents (2,698 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $121,250, fair market rent of $4,440 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $2,402,668, up 1.8% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($4,440/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 44% of median household income ($121,250, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- A median household income of $121,250 (Census ACS) aligns with a 24.2% obesity rate (CDC PLACES), below the ~33% national figure — a pattern that correlates with higher-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 22.6%. 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.
