ZIP 02715 vs ZIP 02764

This side-by-side compares ZIP 02715 (Dighton, MA) and ZIP 02764 (North Dighton, MA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 02715 has a population of 3,123 at 105 people per square mile, while ZIP 02764 has 3,988 at 145 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 02715 reports a median household income of $140,066 against $135,640 in ZIP 02764, with per-capita income of $58,712 vs $50,807. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 35.3% in 02715 and 36.4% in 02764. Poverty rate reads 4.6% vs 1.4%, and unemployment 5.1% vs 5.4% — 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 $489,900 in 02715 versus $533,800 in 02764, with median rent of $1,199 and $1,472 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 93.8% vs 86.4%. 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.
