ZIP 56381

What ZIP 56381 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 56381 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 2,315 and a median household income of $74,650. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

A home at the median costs roughly 2.5 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.

Renting takes an unusually small bite of local income -- about 14% of median household income at the median rent, in the lowest quarter of the 25,890 areas reporting both.

At a median age of 48.5, 56381 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.
