Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Cordova, AK (ZIP 99574) sits in Chugach 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 67.8%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $18,375. FDIC counts just 2 bank branches in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Annual average temperature is just 38.8°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. Alaska has no state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025). IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 103 residents (28 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $79,483, fair market rent of $1,610 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $377,433, up 0.5% 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.

What these numbers say together
Cordova, AK (ZIP 99574) sits in Chugach 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 67.8%. NCES lists 4 schools serving the area, 4 non-charter. 4 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $18,375. FDIC counts just 2 bank branches in this ZIP (Summary of Deposits, 2024) — residents likely lean on neighboring ZIPs or online banking for most services. Annual average temperature is just 38.8°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. Alaska has no state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025). IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 103 residents (28 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $79,483, fair market rent of $1,610 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $377,433, up 0.5% 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 lower the national rate at 18.0%. 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.
