ZIP 10801 vs ZIP 10805

This side-by-side compares ZIP 10801 (New Rochelle, NY) and ZIP 10805 (New Rochelle, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 10801 has a population of 40,827 at 4,613 people per square mile, while ZIP 10805 has 18,414 at 4,120 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 10801 reports a median household income of $85,573 against $102,109 in ZIP 10805, with per-capita income of $52,253 vs $58,570. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 44.2% in 10801 and 37.4% in 10805. Poverty rate reads 14.3% vs 8.3%, and unemployment 6.3% vs 7.9% — 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 $575,300 in 10801 versus $368,100 in 10805, with median rent of $1,839 and $2,065 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 41.1% vs 46.1%. 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.
