Hood River, OR (ZIP 97031) sits in Hood River County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in above the national average at 71.9%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,940. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $96,262, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $52,189 per worker, roughly 20% below the US average. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was severe storm-related (SEVERE STORMS, STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS, FLOODING, LANDSLIDES, AND MUDSLIDES, 2026). Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,187 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). Oregon levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 9.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $96,262 would pay roughly $5,718/year before deductions. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Multnomah County, OR (IRS SOI Migration, 2022-2023). 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 $83,791, fair market rent of $1,920 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $712,295, down 0.4% 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.

Hood River, OR (ZIP 97031) sits in Hood River County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in above the national average at 71.9%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. 7 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,940. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $96,262, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $52,189 per worker, roughly 20% below the US average. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was severe storm-related (SEVERE STORMS, STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS, FLOODING, LANDSLIDES, AND MUDSLIDES, 2026). Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,187 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). Oregon levies a graduated state income tax (top rate 9.90%); a household at the local median AGI of $96,262 would pay roughly $5,718/year before deductions.

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.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 24.2%. 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.
