What these numbers say together
Tanacross, AK (ZIP 99776) sits in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area. The page draws on 2 federal data feeds retrieved Apr 27. Top health signal: High Blood Pressure comes in above the national average at 41.7%. NCES lists 1 schools serving the area, 1 non-charter. 2 colleges and universities serve the area, with median in-state tuition of $6,998. BLS QCEW puts average annual pay at $90,122 per worker — about 38% above the US average and a clear high-wage signal. FEMA has issued 12 federal disaster declarations affecting this ZIP since 1989. Annual average temperature is just 24.7°F per NOAA's 1991–2020 Climate Normals — a notably cold-weather climate. 29.7% of residents in this county are flagged low-access by USDA's 2025 Food Environment Atlas — a notable supermarket-access gap.

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 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.
