ZIP 16328 vs ZIP 16354

This side-by-side compares ZIP 16328 (Hydetown, PA) and ZIP 16354 (Titusville, PA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 16328 has a population of 80 at 546 people per square mile, while ZIP 16354 has 11,379 at 36 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 16328 reports a median household income of $60,000 against $48,963 in ZIP 16354, with per-capita income of $28,350 vs $32,199. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 8.5% in 16328 and 18.6% in 16354. Poverty rate reads 6.6% vs 18.5%, and unemployment 14.1% vs 7.9% — 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 $106,800 in 16328 versus $102,500 in 16354, with median rent of $900 and $688 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 80.4% vs 70.6%. 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.
