ZIP 08107 vs ZIP 08106

This side-by-side compares ZIP 08107 (Oaklyn, NJ) and ZIP 08106 (Audubon, NJ) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 08107 has a population of 13,675 at 2,952 people per square mile, while ZIP 08106 has 9,874 at 2,322 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 08107 reports a median household income of $80,833 against $111,002 in ZIP 08106, with per-capita income of $47,192 vs $51,029. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 42.2% in 08107 and 43.9% in 08106. Poverty rate reads 10.1% vs 3.9%, and unemployment 6.0% vs 4.4% — 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 $300,500 in 08107 versus $304,800 in 08106, with median rent of $1,389 and $1,119 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 56.8% vs 67.2%. 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.
