ZIP 08010 vs ZIP 08046

This side-by-side compares ZIP 08010 (Beverly, NJ) and ZIP 08046 (Willingboro, NJ) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 08010 has a population of 11,539 at 1,161 people per square mile, while ZIP 08046 has 31,587 at 1,664 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 08010 reports a median household income of $88,037 against $98,178 in ZIP 08046, with per-capita income of $38,591 vs $40,320. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 27.5% in 08010 and 27.9% in 08046. Poverty rate reads 17.5% vs 8.1%, and unemployment 3.7% vs 8.1% — 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 $260,000 in 08010 versus $269,900 in 08046, with median rent of $1,487 and $2,112 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 74.9% vs 84.2%. 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.
