ZIP 10583 vs ZIP 10804

This side-by-side compares ZIP 10583 (Scarsdale, NY) and ZIP 10804 (New Rochelle, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 10583 has a population of 38,982 at 1,218 people per square mile, while ZIP 10804 has 14,146 at 1,260 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 10583 reports a median household income of $250,001 against $250,001 in ZIP 10804, with per-capita income of $146,652 vs $110,526. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 80.2% in 10583 and 85.3% in 10804. Poverty rate reads 3.3% vs 2.9%, and unemployment 3.8% vs 3.0% — 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 $1,183,200 in 10583 versus $927,000 in 10804, with median rent of $2,474 and $2,210 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 84.8% vs 95.8%. 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.
