What these numbers say together
Tacoma, WA (ZIP 98405) sits in Pierce County within the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in above the national average at 69.5%. NCES lists 16 schools serving the area, 16 non-charter. 10 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $8,850. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $65,235, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Federal QCEW filings show 333,492 covered jobs in this ZIP's primary county — a major regional employment hub. FEMA has issued 26 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1964 — a high-frequency exposure profile. 33.7% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap. Washington has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $65,235) approximately $3,001/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 and school options both run strong here, giving residents a wide menu of providers and enrollment choices nearby. Notable: median household income $72,606, fair market rent of $1,860 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $461,931, down 0.5% 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.
These two readings tell a consistent story. Strong access numbers usually correlate with denser provider networks, and a high school count signals the population base that supports them. Reading them together: a household weighing this ZIP for a multi-year stay can expect both healthcare and education infrastructure to keep pace.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits higher the national rate at 28.0%. 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.
