ZIP 16360 vs ZIP 16327

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