ZIP 30230 vs ZIP 30220

This side-by-side compares ZIP 30230 (Hogansville, GA) and ZIP 30220 (Grantville, GA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 30230 has a population of 9,103 at 27 people per square mile, while ZIP 30220 has 5,533 at 39 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 30230 reports a median household income of $65,732 against $72,091 in ZIP 30220, with per-capita income of $32,841 vs $35,577. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 16.4% in 30230 and 17.8% in 30220. Poverty rate reads 12.5% vs 11.8%, and unemployment 2.1% vs 7.8% — 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 $203,000 in 30230 versus $229,400 in 30220, with median rent of $1,195 and $1,352 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 72.2% vs 85.1%. 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.
