ZIP 16327 vs ZIP 16360

This side-by-side compares ZIP 16327 (Guys Mills, PA) and ZIP 16360 (Townville, PA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 16327 has a population of 2,978 at 17 people per square mile, while ZIP 16360 has 1,383 at 19 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 16327 reports a median household income of $76,146 against $71,528 in ZIP 16360, with per-capita income of $36,700 vs $32,996. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 24.2% in 16327 and 20.0% in 16360. Poverty rate reads 9.5% vs 18.2%, and unemployment 2.0% vs 1.7% — 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 $156,400 in 16327 versus $161,500 in 16360, with median rent of $853 and $650 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 88.2% vs 87.3%. 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.
