ZIP 17233 vs ZIP 17267

This side-by-side compares ZIP 17233 (Mc Connellsburg, PA) and ZIP 17267 (Warfordsburg, PA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 17233 has a population of 5,047 at 24 people per square mile, while ZIP 17267 has 2,810 at 11 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 17233 reports a median household income of $61,296 against $77,788 in ZIP 17267, with per-capita income of $38,120 vs $36,689. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 17.2% in 17233 and 23.4% in 17267. Poverty rate reads 11.5% vs 10.0%, and unemployment 3.3% vs 4.7% — 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 $195,500 in 17233 versus $251,000 in 17267, with median rent of $784 and $803 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 70.4% vs 83.2%. 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.
