ZIP 13060 vs ZIP 13153

This side-by-side compares ZIP 13060 (Elbridge, NY) and ZIP 13153 (Skaneateles Falls, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 13060 has a population of 2,806 at 68 people per square mile, while ZIP 13153 has 399 at 172 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 13060 reports a median household income of $64,448 against $158,688 in ZIP 13153, with per-capita income of $38,355 vs $55,383. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 17.8% in 13060 and 73.0% in 13153. Poverty rate reads 13.0% vs 0.0%, and unemployment 2.5% vs 4.6% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Homeownership rate is 88.0% vs 100.0%. 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.
