Top health signal: Depression comes in above the national average at 28.5%. NCES lists 11 schools serving the area, 11 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $35,613. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $72,632, well above the ~$45K national average per return.
