ZIP 10537 vs ZIP 10567

This side-by-side compares ZIP 10537 (Lake Peekskill, NY) and ZIP 10567 (Cortlandt Manor, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 10537 has a population of 2,416 at 866 people per square mile, while ZIP 10567 has 19,929 at 348 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 10537 reports a median household income of $132,117 against $144,194 in ZIP 10567, with per-capita income of $56,768 vs $64,111. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 55.1% in 10537 and 51.9% in 10567. Poverty rate reads 4.8% vs 5.3%, and unemployment 4.3% vs 8.4% — 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 $410,000 in 10537 versus $566,700 in 10567, with median rent of $2,583 and $1,873 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.0% vs 91.9%. 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.
