What these numbers say together
Adak, AK (ZIP 99546) sits in Aleutians West Census Area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in above the national average at 64.3%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $18,375. Local establishments report average pay of $27,360 per worker (Census ZBP) — below the US average. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $83,204 per worker — about 27% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. Severe Storm accounts for 50% of the 6 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. Alaska has no state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025). IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 105 residents (140 households) — the ZIP's primary county is growing. Both healthcare access and on-paper school density skew lighter than national norms; what shows up here is a snapshot, not a verdict — neighborhood-level texture matters at this scale. Notable: median household income $90,114, fair market rent of $2,000 for a two-bedroom, and a median home value of $61,700. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
Both surfaces skew lighter than national averages. That isn’t a verdict — small-area estimates compress real neighborhood-level texture, and a single ZIP reading can miss a district line or a hospital corridor sitting just outside it. Treat this as a starting point for fieldwork, not a conclusion.
- With fair market rent at $2,000/month (HUD SAFMR) and median household income at $90,114 (Census ACS), housing costs represent approximately 27% of income.
- As a predominantly renter community (77% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 1 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
- Strong public-transit usage (31% of commuters, Census ACS B08301) contributes to a mean commute of 6 minutes (Census ACS B08303).
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 19.8%. 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.
