ZIP 10993 vs ZIP 10927

This side-by-side compares ZIP 10993 (West Haverstraw, NY) and ZIP 10927 (Haverstraw, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 10993 has a population of 4,769 at 1,593 people per square mile, while ZIP 10927 has 11,910 at 2,339 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 10993 reports a median household income of $66,189 against $75,167 in ZIP 10927, with per-capita income of $31,762 vs $31,725. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 23.7% in 10993 and 24.8% in 10927. Poverty rate reads 16.2% vs 16.4%, and unemployment 7.1% vs 8.2% — 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 $303,200 in 10993 versus $361,100 in 10927, with median rent of $1,557 and $2,114 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 55.4% vs 49.6%. 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.
