What these numbers say together
Del Monte Forest, CA (ZIP 93953) sits in Monterey County within the Salinas metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 3.1%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 9 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $1,404. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $467,213, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS LAUS records a 7.3% county unemployment rate (2024) — about 3.3 points above the US average and a labor-market distress signal. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 14th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. FEMA has issued 33 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1967 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 23% of adults self-report fair or poor health (County Health Rankings, 2025) — above the national county median. California levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 13.30%); a household at the local median AGI of $467,213 would pay roughly $37,284/year before deductions. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 5,890 residents (3,021 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 $145,250, fair market rent of $3,510 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $2,767,019, up 3.3% 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.
- With fair market rent at $3,510/month (HUD SAFMR) and median household income at $145,250 (Census ACS), housing costs represent approximately 29% of income.
- A median household income of $145,250 (Census ACS) aligns with a 23.3% 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 lower the national rate at 17.6%. 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.
