ZIP 30011 vs ZIP 30019

This side-by-side compares ZIP 30011 (Auburn, GA) and ZIP 30019 (Dacula, GA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 30011 has a population of 14,402 at 209 people per square mile, while ZIP 30019 has 40,447 at 337 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 30011 reports a median household income of $86,402 against $116,583 in ZIP 30019, with per-capita income of $34,546 vs $42,977. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 28.5% in 30011 and 39.5% in 30019. Poverty rate reads 7.4% vs 4.1%, and unemployment 5.9% 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 $328,000 in 30011 versus $440,700 in 30019, with median rent of $1,467 and $2,018 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 81.9% 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.
