ZIP 10075 vs ZIP 10028

This side-by-side compares ZIP 10075 (New York, NY) and ZIP 10028 (New York, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 10075 has a population of 26,121 at 54,746 people per square mile, while ZIP 10028 has 45,141 at 55,636 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 10075 reports a median household income of $155,902 against $175,121 in ZIP 10028, with per-capita income of $157,038 vs $165,387. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 87.6% in 10075 and 83.8% in 10028. Poverty rate reads 14.7% vs 4.9%, and unemployment 3.8% vs 5.4% — 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 $991,900 in 10075 versus $1,602,600 in 10028, with median rent of $2,658 and $2,825 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 45.1% vs 38.5%. 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.
