ZIP 24330 vs ZIP 24350

This side-by-side compares ZIP 24330 (Fries, VA) and ZIP 24350 (Ivanhoe, VA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 24330 has a population of 3,401 at 32 people per square mile, while ZIP 24350 has 1,261 at 10 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 24330 reports a median household income of $47,478 against $54,219 in ZIP 24350, with per-capita income of $25,378 vs $30,132. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 12.4% in 24330 and 16.1% in 24350. Poverty rate reads 11.7% vs 15.7%, and unemployment 4.4% vs 4.0% — 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 $128,600 in 24330 versus $97,400 in 24350, with median rent of $728 and — per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 81.9% vs 90.6%. 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.
