ZIP 14141 vs ZIP 14025

This side-by-side compares ZIP 14141 (Springville, NY) and ZIP 14025 (Boston, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 14141 has a population of 7,728 at 42 people per square mile, while ZIP 14025 has 3,039 at 52 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 14141 reports a median household income of $80,906 against $115,188 in ZIP 14025, with per-capita income of $44,813 vs $59,838. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 30.1% in 14141 and 43.1% in 14025. Poverty rate reads 7.5% vs 5.2%, and unemployment 4.1% vs 3.4% — 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 $217,800 in 14141 versus $267,200 in 14025, with median rent of $721 and $1,250 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 73.8% vs 88.3%. 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.
