What these numbers say together
Chelan, WA (ZIP 98816) sits in Chelan County within the Wenatchee-East Wenatchee metro area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 36.2%. NCES lists 6 schools serving the area, 6 non-charter. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $5,163. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $99,040, well above the ~$45K national average per return. FEMA has issued 79 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1972 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages just 12.0" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. Median daily AQI is just 28 per EPA AQS (2024), comfortably inside the Good range, with PM2.5 as the primary pollutant on most measured days. Washington has no state income tax, saving the local median household (AGI $99,040) approximately $4,556/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. New residents arriving here predominantly come from Douglas 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 $69,531, fair market rent of $1,720 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $497,293, down 4.3% 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 24.6%. 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.
