ZIP 03748 vs ZIP 03753

This side-by-side compares ZIP 03748 (Enfield, NH) and ZIP 03753 (Grantham, NH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 03748 has a population of 4,762 at 43 people per square mile, while ZIP 03753 has 2,971 at 42 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 03748 reports a median household income of $95,089 against $106,285 in ZIP 03753, with per-capita income of $62,981 vs $61,101.

Poverty rate reads 16.7% vs 0.0%, and unemployment 0.0% vs 2.8% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Homeownership rate is 82.1% vs 99.8%. 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.
