ZIP 19054 vs ZIP 19030

This side-by-side compares ZIP 19054 (Levittown, PA) and ZIP 19030 (Fairless Hills, PA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 19054 has a population of 17,437 at 1,627 people per square mile, while ZIP 19030 has 12,122 at 1,032 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 19054 reports a median household income of $104,713 against $96,603 in ZIP 19030, with per-capita income of $46,302 vs $42,830. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 26.2% in 19054 and 28.5% in 19030. Poverty rate reads 7.5% vs 8.9%, and unemployment 5.3% vs 4.5% — 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 $357,600 in 19054 versus $376,200 in 19030, with median rent of $1,654 and $1,316 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 78.1% vs 78.1%. 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.
