ZIP 03601 vs ZIP 03607

This side-by-side compares ZIP 03601 (Acworth, NH) and ZIP 03607 (South Acworth, NH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies.

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.
