ZIP 10451 vs ZIP 10452

This side-by-side compares ZIP 10451 (Bronx, NY) and ZIP 10452 (Bronx, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 10451 has a population of 45,713 at 17,151 people per square mile, while ZIP 10452 has 75,371 at 29,444 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 10451 reports a median household income of $38,770 against $41,288 in ZIP 10452, with per-capita income of $27,315 vs $22,233. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 22.1% in 10451 and 16.4% in 10452. Poverty rate reads 33.3% vs 34.6%, and unemployment 16.1% vs 12.7% — 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 $288,500 in 10451 versus $197,100 in 10452, with median rent of $1,330 and $1,419 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 13.6% vs 3.3%. 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.
