ZIP 25507

What ZIP 25507 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 25507 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 964 and a median household income of $32,574. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

The median home is priced at about 3.7 times median household income, above the midpoint for reporting areas. A gap of this size usually means demand is being set by buyers whose income is not counted in this ZCTA -- commuters, second-home buyers, or investors.

Rent absorbs roughly 29% of median household income, among the highest quarter of reporting areas. Because renter households usually earn below the area-wide median, the burden on actual renters runs higher than this ratio shows.

At a median age of 55.8, 25507 falls in the oldest quarter of reporting areas. Retirement destinations and long-settled rural areas cluster here, and in both the labour-force measures below cover a smaller share of residents than they would in a younger area.

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