Tahoe Vista, CA (ZIP 96148) sits in Placer County within the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom 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 7.1%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 3 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $1,138. The CDC SVI flags household composition (67th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 36th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 26 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1964 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual average temperature is just 43.9°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,086 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). 31.9% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 4,443 residents (1,288 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. 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 $96,786, fair market rent of $1,940 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $860,538, down 3.6% 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.

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.
