What these numbers say together
Eastsound, WA (ZIP 98245) sits in San Juan County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Obesity comes in below the national average at 25.6%. NCES lists 5 schools serving the area, 5 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,258. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $116,596, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FEMA has issued 12 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1980. Premature-mortality burden is comparatively low at 3,315 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (County Health Rankings, 2025). USDA's Food Environment Atlas shows a strong food retail environment in this county — only 0.0% of residents are low-access and grocery density is above the national county median. Washington has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $116,596) approximately $5,363/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. New residents arriving here predominantly come from King County, WA (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 $67,734, fair market rent of $1,610 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $901,383, up 1.4% 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.
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 near the national rate at 23.3%. 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.
