ZIP 11010 vs ZIP 11565

This side-by-side compares ZIP 11010 (Franklin Square, NY) and ZIP 11565 (Malverne, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 11010 has a population of 23,821 at 3,872 people per square mile, while ZIP 11565 has 8,690 at 3,006 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 11010 reports a median household income of $142,321 against $148,049 in ZIP 11565, with per-capita income of $52,075 vs $65,764. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 40.2% in 11010 and 55.8% in 11565. Poverty rate reads 4.0% vs 7.7%, and unemployment 5.6% vs 2.1% — 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 $665,800 in 11010 versus $642,400 in 11565, with median rent of $2,151 and $1,898 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 84.0% vs 96.6%. 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.
