ZIP 25560 vs ZIP 25213

This side-by-side compares ZIP 25560 (Scott Depot, WV) and ZIP 25213 (Winfield, WV) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 25560 has a population of 7,997 at 133 people per square mile, while ZIP 25213 has 5,512 at 59 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 25560 reports a median household income of $103,160 against $100,711 in ZIP 25213, with per-capita income of $45,988 vs $43,868. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 40.0% in 25560 and 33.6% in 25213. Poverty rate reads 9.8% vs 11.8%, and unemployment 2.0% vs 1.2% — 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 $270,900 in 25560 versus $268,600 in 25213, with median rent of $1,155 and $1,046 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 79.3% vs 84.0%. 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.
