ZIP 12760 vs ZIP 12741

This side-by-side compares ZIP 12760 (Long Eddy, NY) and ZIP 12741 (Hankins, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 12760 has a population of 482 at 4 people per square mile, while ZIP 12741 has 351 at 16 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 12760 reports a median household income of $90,938 against $68,897 in ZIP 12741, with per-capita income of $42,434 vs $40,027.

Homeownership rate is 91.6% vs 48.6%. 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.
