ZIP 08051 vs ZIP 08090

This side-by-side compares ZIP 08051 (Mantua, NJ) and ZIP 08090 (Wenonah, NJ) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 08051 has a population of 10,758 at 1,109 people per square mile, while ZIP 08090 has 8,358 at 1,259 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 08051 reports a median household income of $92,071 against $115,701 in ZIP 08090, with per-capita income of $50,127 vs $44,919. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 37.3% in 08051 and 32.7% in 08090. Poverty rate reads 6.8% vs 9.3%, and unemployment 6.2% vs 2.9% — 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 $267,200 in 08051 versus $289,200 in 08090, with median rent of $1,836 and — per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 79.5% vs 91.2%. 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.
