ZIP 17327 vs ZIP 17360

This side-by-side compares ZIP 17327 (Glen Rock, PA) and ZIP 17360 (Seven Valleys, PA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 17327 has a population of 7,565 at 64 people per square mile, while ZIP 17360 has 5,927 at 85 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 17327 reports a median household income of $101,106 against $97,896 in ZIP 17360, with per-capita income of $46,000 vs $46,916. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 28.7% in 17327 and 25.6% in 17360. Poverty rate reads 9.7% vs 7.9%, and unemployment 5.5% vs 5.7% — 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 $315,700 in 17327 versus $303,200 in 17360, with median rent of $1,200 and $1,242 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 75.0% 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.
