Lamar lands in the national county income distribution as above-median household income on smaller county footing (FIPS 28073, 3 ZIPs, combined population 59,463). On this short ZIP list the county page is mainly the FIPS bridge - household ACS fields live on the primary ZIP.
Above-median income with few ZIPs: treat the top code (39402) as the primary ACS record and this county page as the FIPS bridge. Intra-county contrast is limited by construction.
Population clears twenty-five thousand even with few ZIPs - density can still swing hard inside the short list. Compare the top two rows by population before treating FIPS 28073 averages as uniform.
