ZIP 13035 vs ZIP 13122

This side-by-side compares ZIP 13035 (Cazenovia, NY) and ZIP 13122 (New Woodstock, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 13035 has a population of 8,617 at 45 people per square mile, while ZIP 13122 has 1,174 at 24 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 13035 reports a median household income of $109,394 against $81,500 in ZIP 13122, with per-capita income of $53,238 vs $46,448. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 54.5% in 13035 and 29.2% in 13122. Poverty rate reads 5.0% vs 3.6%, and unemployment 4.4% vs 4.3% — 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 $296,700 in 13035 versus $282,300 in 13122, with median rent of $1,244 and — per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 83.7% vs 88.9%. 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.
