ZIP 01375 vs ZIP 01373

This side-by-side compares ZIP 01375 (Sunderland, MA) and ZIP 01373 (South Deerfield, MA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 01375 has a population of 3,684 at 100 people per square mile, while ZIP 01373 has 4,600 at 74 per square mile. That difference in population size and density alone reshapes how every other metric should be interpreted — a higher-income ZIP with 1,200 residents behaves very differently from one with 45,000.

On income and education, ZIP 01375 reports a median household income of $68,083 against $106,413 in ZIP 01373, with per-capita income of $38,436 vs $61,608. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 62.8% in 01375 and 37.7% in 01373. Poverty rate reads 14.3% vs 6.4%, and unemployment 6.5% vs 2.4% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Housing separates these two ZIPs further: median home value sits at $458,100 in 01375 versus $413,500 in 01373, with median rent of $1,672 and $1,224 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 42.0% vs 81.2%. When reading the comparison table below, focus on paired metrics rather than single winners — a ZIP with lower home values and lower income is not strictly "worse" if rent-to-income ratios and commute times land in the same zone. Every value is pulled from the exact same ACS table so the two columns are genuinely comparable.
