ZIP 36585

What ZIP 36585 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 36585 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 917 and a median household income of $63,350. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

Housing is cheap here relative to local earnings. A home at the median costs about 1.1 years of a median household's gross income, which puts 36585 in the least expensive quarter of the 29,491 tabulation areas that report both figures. Areas in this range are usually either far from a major job centre or carrying housing stock that local wages have caught up with.

Half the residents are under 30.0, young enough to place 36585 in the youngest quarter of the 32,853 areas reporting an age. Campuses, barracks, and dense rental districts dominate this end of the range, and where that is the cause the income and poverty figures describe students rather than settled households.

The ACS publishes no median rent for 36585. 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.
