ZIP 29745 vs ZIP 29710

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