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 $27,000, fair market rent of $1,030 for a two-bedroom, and a 32.5% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). 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
Perryville, AK (ZIP 99648) sits in Lake and Peninsula Borough. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: Annual Checkup comes in above the national average at 67.2%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 3 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $9,695. Average annual pay across local establishments runs $103,100 per worker (Census ZBP) — a high-wage local economy. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $51,234 per worker, roughly 22% below the US average. BLS LAUS records a 6.1% county unemployment rate (2024) — about 2.1 points above the US average and a labor-market distress signal. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 87th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. Biological accounts for 67% of the 3 FEMA disaster declarations on record for this ZIP. 19.2% of residents under 65 lack health insurance per the 2025 County Health Rankings — a notable access gap.

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 $27,000, fair market rent of $1,030 for a two-bedroom, and a 32.5% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average). 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.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($1,030/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 46% of median household income ($27,000, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($27,000, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 40.9% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 21.3%. 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.
