ZIP 13326 vs ZIP 13450

This side-by-side compares ZIP 13326 (Cooperstown, NY) and ZIP 13450 (Roseboom, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 13326 has a population of 5,561 at 23 people per square mile, while ZIP 13450 has 104 at 17 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 13326 reports a median household income of $80,040 against $119,167 in ZIP 13450, with per-capita income of $54,422 vs $70,969. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 50.5% in 13326 and 17.2% in 13450. Poverty rate reads 8.3% vs 0.0%, and unemployment 6.3% vs 3.7% — 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 $340,100 in 13326 versus $172,500 in 13450, with median rent of $1,184 and — per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 74.4% 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.
