ZIP 14754 vs ZIP 14721

This side-by-side compares ZIP 14754 (Little Genesee, NY) and ZIP 14721 (Ceres, NY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 14754 has a population of 667 at 16 people per square mile, while ZIP 14721 has 230 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 14754 reports a median household income of $62,750 against $40,250 in ZIP 14721, with per-capita income of $38,823 vs $24,326. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 10.1% in 14754 and 7.7% in 14721. Poverty rate reads 14.8% vs 22.0%, and unemployment 11.9% vs 1.0% — 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 $80,900 in 14754 versus $126,100 in 14721, with median rent of $488 and $1,053 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 88.9% vs 71.4%. 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.
