Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in above the national average at 69.0%. 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. IRS data shows average household income (AGI) of $78,287, well above the ~$45K national average per return.

FEMA has issued 20 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1986 — a high-frequency exposure profile.

IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net gain of 487 residents (267 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 $148,021, fair market rent of $1,490 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $463,508, up 2.0% 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.
