ZIP 03070 vs ZIP 03057

This side-by-side compares ZIP 03070 (New Boston, NH) and ZIP 03057 (Mont Vernon, NH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 03070 has a population of 5,254 at 47 people per square mile, while ZIP 03057 has 2,500 at 57 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 03070 reports a median household income of $154,000 against $156,250 in ZIP 03057, with per-capita income of $59,542 vs $64,525. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 44.3% in 03070 and 51.6% in 03057. Poverty rate reads 6.3% vs 4.2%, and unemployment 4.0% vs 1.5% — 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 $480,300 in 03070 versus $518,400 in 03057, with median rent of $1,193 and $1,104 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 88.0% vs 96.0%. 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.
