ZIP 24175 vs ZIP 24083

This side-by-side compares ZIP 24175 (Troutville, VA) and ZIP 24083 (Daleville, VA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 24175 has a population of 8,818 at 47 people per square mile, while ZIP 24083 has 2,587 at 125 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 24175 reports a median household income of $82,314 against $109,207 in ZIP 24083, with per-capita income of $40,376 vs $49,851. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 28.9% in 24175 and 40.9% in 24083. Poverty rate reads 3.6% vs 4.6%, and unemployment 2.9% vs 4.3% — 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 $302,200 in 24175 versus $391,500 in 24083, with median rent of $1,075 and $1,810 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 85.4% vs 75.4%. 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.
