Fresh.Data current as of Apr 24, 2026
Central, AK (ZIP 99730) sits in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 51.8%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,998. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $52,125 per worker, roughly 20% below the US average. BLS LAUS records a 8.9% county unemployment rate (2024) — about 4.9 points above the US average and a labor-market distress signal. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 96th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile. The most recent FEMA disaster declaration here was flood-related (SEVERE STORMS, FLOODING, AND REMNANTS OF TYPHOON HALONG, 2025). County Health Rankings reports 22,704 years of potential life lost per 100,000 (2025) — well above the national county median. Per USDA's Food Environment Atlas, 89.6% of residents in this county live more than 1 mile (urban) or 10 miles (rural) from the nearest supermarket — a deep food-access gap. Alaska has no state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025). IRS migration data (2022-2023) shows a net loss of 127 residents (86 households) — the ZIP's primary county is shrinking. 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 $16,250, fair market rent of $1,130 for a two-bedroom, and broadband access at 67.8% of households (below the ~87% US average). Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.

Per-1,000 figures show how many of each store type exist in Yukon-Koyukuk County, AK for every 1,000 residents. Higher grocery and supercenter density usually means easier access to fresh food; higher convenience-store-only density (with low grocery rate) often signals a food swamp.

What these numbers say together
Central, AK (ZIP 99730) sits in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The page draws on 1 federal data feed retrieved Apr 24. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 51.8%. No NCES schools are mapped to this ZIP in the current dataset. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,998. BLS QCEW reports average annual pay of $52,125 per worker, roughly 20% below the US average. BLS LAUS records a 8.9% county unemployment rate (2024) — about 4.9 points above the US average and a labor-market distress signal. CDC's Social Vulnerability Index places this ZIP in the 96th percentile nationally — a highly vulnerable community profile.

Notable: median household income $16,250, fair market rent of $1,130 for a two-bedroom, and broadband access at 67.8% of households (below the ~87% 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 ($1,130/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 83% of median household income ($16,250, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- Lower median household income ($16,250, Census ACS) sits alongside an above-average 38.6% obesity rate (CDC PLACES) — a pattern that correlates with reduced healthcare access in lower-income areas.
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits lower the national rate at 19.0%. 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.
