ZIP 10024 vs ZIP 10025

This side-by-side compares ZIP 10024 (New York, NY) and ZIP 10025 (New York, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 10024 has a population of 59,283 at 26,672 people per square mile, while ZIP 10025 has 94,600 at 48,594 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 10024 reports a median household income of $181,560 against $108,940 in ZIP 10025, with per-capita income of $147,036 vs $85,173. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 82.0% in 10024 and 69.8% in 10025. Poverty rate reads 8.2% vs 15.6%, and unemployment 2.9% vs 8.7% — 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 $1,687,800 in 10024 versus $1,106,900 in 10025, with median rent of $3,041 and $2,084 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 37.1% vs 31.1%. 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.
