ZIP 03902 vs ZIP 03907

This side-by-side compares ZIP 03902 (Cape Neddick, ME) and ZIP 03907 (Ogunquit, ME) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 03902 has a population of 2,211 at 44 people per square mile, while ZIP 03907 has 894 at 84 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 03902 reports a median household income of $133,676 against $114,259 in ZIP 03907, with per-capita income of $61,304 vs $100,087. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 53.2% in 03902 and 63.5% in 03907. Poverty rate reads 4.8% vs 3.2%, and unemployment 5.0% vs 0.0% — 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 $592,200 in 03902 versus $875,700 in 03907, with median rent of $1,708 and — per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 75.8% vs 94.3%. 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.
