ZIP 22737 vs ZIP 20106

This side-by-side compares ZIP 22737 (Rixeyville, VA) and ZIP 20106 (Amissville, VA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 22737 has a population of 2,936 at 28 people per square mile, while ZIP 20106 has 5,142 at 33 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 22737 reports a median household income of $99,177 against $108,469 in ZIP 20106, with per-capita income of $44,101 vs $50,103. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 31.1% in 22737 and 32.2% in 20106. Poverty rate reads 0.7% vs 8.2%, and unemployment 0.0% vs 8.1% — 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 $401,000 in 22737 versus $521,900 in 20106, with median rent of $823 and $1,220 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 96.4% vs 84.5%. 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.
