ZIP 07410 vs ZIP 07452

This side-by-side compares ZIP 07410 (Fair Lawn, NJ) and ZIP 07452 (Glen Rock, NJ) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 07410 has a population of 32,457 at 2,442 people per square mile, while ZIP 07452 has 11,601 at 1,652 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 07410 reports a median household income of $144,574 against $215,096 in ZIP 07452, with per-capita income of $57,795 vs $83,336. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 63.3% in 07410 and 73.1% in 07452. Poverty rate reads 6.1% vs 1.3%, and unemployment 6.2% vs 5.9% — 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 $564,700 in 07410 versus $856,900 in 07452, with median rent of $1,917 and $1,930 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 78.1% vs 90.2%. 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.
