Below average

Affordable homes and solid everyday services, but weak schools and no listed base nearby give this ZIP a mixed profile for military families.

The good

  • Affordable homes (~$252k) for the price point
  • Crime near the national average (2022 county data)
  • Childcare, groceries, hospitals, and storage all available

Worth weighing

  • School district rated below average (32/100)
  • No nearby base on record — commute unknown
  • County crime data may not reflect your specific neighborhood
  • School score is district-wide, not a guarantee for every campus
