ZIP 07458 vs ZIP 07423

This side-by-side compares ZIP 07458 (Saddle River, NJ) and ZIP 07423 (Ho Ho Kus, NJ) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 07458 has a population of 11,360 at 432 people per square mile, while ZIP 07423 has 4,078 at 905 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 07458 reports a median household income of $244,022 against $250,001 in ZIP 07423, with per-capita income of $120,338 vs $142,575. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 75.2% in 07458 and 82.6% in 07423. Poverty rate reads 4.5% vs 0.0%, and unemployment 7.3% vs 1.7% — 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 $1,188,500 in 07458 versus $1,092,500 in 07423, with median rent of $3,440 and $2,857 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 88.8% vs 92.5%. 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.
