ZIP 07481 vs ZIP 07432

This side-by-side compares ZIP 07481 (Wyckoff, NJ) and ZIP 07432 (Midland Park, NJ) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 07481 has a population of 16,716 at 978 people per square mile, while ZIP 07432 has 7,128 at 1,752 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 07481 reports a median household income of $203,988 against $146,841 in ZIP 07432, with per-capita income of $98,916 vs $72,739. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 70.7% in 07481 and 57.5% in 07432. Poverty rate reads 3.1% vs 2.8%, and unemployment 5.0% vs 7.2% — 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 $925,700 in 07481 versus $607,200 in 07432, with median rent of $2,567 and $1,853 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 92.7% vs 72.6%. 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.
