ZIP 03848 vs ZIP 03819

This side-by-side compares ZIP 03848 (Kingston, NH) and ZIP 03819 (Danville, NH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 03848 has a population of 6,020 at 118 people per square mile, while ZIP 03819 has 4,377 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 03848 reports a median household income of $105,330 against $112,335 in ZIP 03819, with per-capita income of $59,354 vs $54,197. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 35.1% in 03848 and 37.0% in 03819. Poverty rate reads 2.1% vs 12.1%, and unemployment 3.4% vs 1.6% — 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 $492,900 in 03848 versus $436,300 in 03819, with median rent of $1,393 and $2,144 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 74.4% vs 97.4%. 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.
