ZIP 10533 vs ZIP 10503

This side-by-side compares ZIP 10533 (Irvington, NY) and ZIP 10503 (Ardsley On Hudson, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 10533 has a population of 7,322 at 795 people per square mile, while ZIP 10503 has 108 at 2,805 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 10533 reports a median household income of $174,038 against $243,036 in ZIP 10503, with per-capita income of $107,875 vs $150,492. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 75.8% in 10533 and 94.7% in 10503. Poverty rate reads 1.4% vs 0.0%, and unemployment 2.3% vs 0.0% — 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 $874,400 in 10533 versus $868,600 in 10503, with median rent of $2,651 and — per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 81.8% vs 100.0%. 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.
