ZIP 11412 vs ZIP 11411

This side-by-side compares ZIP 11412 (Saint Albans, NY) and ZIP 11411 (Cambria Heights, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 11412 has a population of 34,882 at 8,177 people per square mile, while ZIP 11411 has 18,556 at 6,134 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 11412 reports a median household income of $97,979 against $116,458 in ZIP 11411, with per-capita income of $37,184 vs $43,271. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 26.0% in 11412 and 35.3% in 11411. Poverty rate reads 10.4% vs 7.3%, and unemployment 5.4% vs 7.0% — 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 $647,400 in 11412 versus $646,800 in 11411, with median rent of $1,680 and $1,723 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 71.8% vs 84.7%. 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.
