What these numbers say together
Deep River, WA (ZIP 98638) sits in Pacific County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 38.8%. NCES lists 3 schools serving the area, 3 non-charter. 5 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,233. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $72,787, well above the ~$45K national average per return. Local establishments report average pay of $29,981 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $50,311 per worker, roughly 23% below the US average. BLS LAUS records a 6.4% county unemployment rate (2024) — about 2.4 points above the US average and a labor-market distress signal. FEMA has issued 36 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1964 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages 112.2" — a wet-climate ZCTA per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals.

IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 208 residents (92 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. 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 $57,072, fair market rent of $1,230 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $388,677, up 2.1% 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 higher the national rate at 26.2%. 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.
