Sprague, WA (ZIP 99032) sits in Lincoln County. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Health Insurance comes in below the national average at 6.4%. NCES lists 2 schools serving the area, 2 non-charter. 3 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $8,586. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $61,182, well above the ~$45K national average per return. BLS LAUS records a 6.1% county unemployment rate (2024) — about 2.1 points above the US average and a labor-market distress signal. FEMA has issued 33 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1964 — a high-frequency exposure profile. Annual precipitation averages just 12.6" per NOAA's 1991–2020 Normals — an arid-climate ZCTA where landscaping and water-budget choices matter more than national averages suggest. 39.4% 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 $61,182) approximately $2,814/year vs the US average effective state tax rate. IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 137 residents (20 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 $68,036, fair market rent of $1,300 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $130,700. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
