Fresh.Data current as of Apr 27, 2026
Brothers, OR (ZIP 97712) sits in Deschutes County within the Bend metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 27. Health-survey coverage is limited for this ZIP. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,308. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 3th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. Fire accounts for 58% of the 19 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Annual precipitation averages just 12.5" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 5,427 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). Fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores roughly 5-to-1 per capita (USDA Food Environment Atlas) — a "food swamp" pattern often linked to higher diet-related disease prevalence. Per IRS migration filings (2022-2023), the area's primary county netted $253,720,000 in incoming taxable income — a wealth-inflow signal even when headcount churn is modest. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $48,289, fair market rent of $1,510 for a two-bedroom, and a 34.5% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). 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
Brothers, OR (ZIP 97712) sits in Deschutes County within the Bend metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 27. Health-survey coverage is limited for this ZIP. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,308. Social vulnerability is low in this ZIP at the 3th percentile (CDC SVI), reflecting strong baseline resilience to public-health emergencies and natural disasters. Fire accounts for 58% of the 19 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Annual precipitation averages just 12.5" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest.

Notable: median household income $48,289, fair market rent of $1,510 for a two-bedroom, and a 34.5% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,510/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 38% of median household income ($48,289, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (100% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 1 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
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.
