ZIP 10452 vs ZIP 10451

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