ZIP 29710 vs ZIP 29745

This side-by-side compares ZIP 29710 (Clover, SC) and ZIP 29745 (York, SC) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 29710 has a population of 29,449 at 100 people per square mile, while ZIP 29745 has 28,919 at 83 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 29710 reports a median household income of $96,563 against $79,117 in ZIP 29745, with per-capita income of $45,347 vs $35,459. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 36.9% in 29710 and 21.9% in 29745. Poverty rate reads 8.4% vs 8.8%, and unemployment 4.8% vs 4.6% — 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 $386,800 in 29710 versus $280,800 in 29745, with median rent of $1,543 and $999 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.8% vs 83.9%. 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.
