Nevada City, CA (ZIP 95959) sits in Nevada County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 5.1%. NCES lists 12 schools serving the area, 12 non-charter. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $1,411. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $100,127, well above the ~$45K national average per return. 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. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1964 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 62.3" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. 34.8% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. California levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 13.30%); a household at the local median AGI of $100,127 would pay roughly $7,990/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Placer County, CA (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $75,625, fair market rent of $1,920 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $553,066, down 2.6% 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
Nevada City, CA (ZIP 95959) sits in Nevada County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 26. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 5.1%. NCES lists 12 schools serving the area, 12 non-charter. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $1,411. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $100,127, well above the ~$45K national average per return. 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. FEMA has issued 23 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1964 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 62.3" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals. 34.8% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. California levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 13.30%); a household at the local median AGI of $100,127 would pay roughly $7,990/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Placer County, CA (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). Healthcare access and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $75,625, fair market rent of $1,920 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $553,066, down 2.6% 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.
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 23.3%. 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.
