ZIP 02670 vs ZIP 02664

This side-by-side compares ZIP 02670 (West Dennis, MA) and ZIP 02664 (South Yarmouth, MA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 02670 has a population of 1,307 at 242 people per square mile, while ZIP 02664 has 9,371 at 522 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 02670 reports a median household income of $87,019 against $82,125 in ZIP 02664, with per-capita income of $92,333 vs $56,565. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 57.1% in 02670 and 38.5% in 02664. Poverty rate reads 7.5% vs 12.6%, and unemployment 1.3% vs 7.8% — 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 $714,100 in 02670 versus $551,400 in 02664, with median rent of $1,594 and $1,832 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.9% vs 77.8%. 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.
