ZIP 23967

What ZIP 23967 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 23967 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 1,539 and a median household income of $54,948. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

A home at the median costs roughly 2.4 years of median household income, a little below the midpoint of the 29,491 tabulation areas reporting both. Buying is within reach of a typical local income here in a way it is not across most of the country.

At the median, rent consumes roughly 15% of a median household's income -- below the midpoint for reporting areas, and well under the 30% line commonly used to define a cost burden.

A median age of 39.2 is on the younger side of the reporting range -- the profile of an area still taking in households at the family-forming stage rather than one that has finished doing so.

The ACS publishes no unemployment rate for 23967. Those rows read "Not reported" below rather than zero; a suppressed estimate is not a measurement of nothing. Small resident counts are the usual reason the Bureau withholds one.

ZCTAs approximate USPS ZIP codes rather than matching them, and these are 5-year ACS estimates, so they trail current conditions.
