ZIP 13732 vs ZIP 18851

This side-by-side compares ZIP 13732 (Apalachin, NY) and ZIP 18851 (Warren Center, PA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 13732 has a population of 8,153 at 96 people per square mile, while ZIP 18851 has 706 at 10 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 13732 reports a median household income of $88,750 against $78,333 in ZIP 18851, with per-capita income of $53,526 vs $34,182. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 36.0% in 13732 and 19.2% in 18851. Poverty rate reads 9.4% vs 15.3%, and unemployment 3.1% vs 3.0% — 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 $192,900 in 13732 versus $233,700 in 18851, with median rent of $1,044 and $981 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 86.4% vs 90.0%. 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.
