ZIP 12051 vs ZIP 12192

This side-by-side compares ZIP 12051 (Coxsackie, NY) and ZIP 12192 (West Coxsackie, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 12051 has a population of 7,070 at 128 people per square mile, while ZIP 12192 has 1,722 at 39 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 12051 reports a median household income of $91,786 against $106,213 in ZIP 12192, with per-capita income of $30,270 vs $47,263. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 23.8% in 12051 and 10.8% in 12192. Poverty rate reads 6.0% vs 9.4%, and unemployment 5.3% vs 8.9% — 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 $331,900 in 12051 versus $283,000 in 12192, with median rent of $902 and — per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 65.9% vs 93.0%. 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.
