Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Seattle, WA (ZIP 98101) sits in King County within the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 20.9%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,238. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $241,667, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Census ZBP marks the area as a major commercial hub with 2,616 business establishments. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $132,279 per worker — about 102% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FDIC counts 26 bank branches across 18 institutions in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — a high-density banking core. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (94th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 50th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 35 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1964 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Only 5.7% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. Washington has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $241,667) approximately $11,117/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 16,160 residents (1,365 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $111,099, fair market rent of $3,470 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $592,162, down 2.7% 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
Seattle, WA (ZIP 98101) sits in King County within the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 20.9%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,238. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $241,667, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Census ZBP marks the area as a major commercial hub with 2,616 business establishments. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $132,279 per worker — about 102% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FDIC counts 26 bank branches across 18 institutions in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — a high-density banking core. The CDC SVI flags housing & transportation (94th percentile) as this ZIP's standout vulnerability dimension, sitting well above its overall 50th-percentile score. FEMA has issued 35 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1964 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Only 5.7% of residents under 65 are uninsured (County Health Rankings, 2025) — well below the national county median. Washington has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $241,667) approximately $11,117/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 16,160 residents (1,365 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $111,099, fair market rent of $3,470 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $592,162, down 2.7% 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($3,470/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 37% of median household income ($111,099, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- A median household income of $111,099 (Census ACS) aligns with a 20.9% obesity rate (CDC PLACES), below the ~33% national figure — a pattern that correlates with higher-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 22.9%. 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.
