ZIP 30241 vs ZIP 30230

This side-by-side compares ZIP 30241 (Lagrange, GA) and ZIP 30230 (Hogansville, GA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 30241 has a population of 23,176 at 80 people per square mile, while ZIP 30230 has 9,103 at 27 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 30241 reports a median household income of $49,053 against $65,732 in ZIP 30230, with per-capita income of $27,721 vs $32,841. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 18.2% in 30241 and 16.4% in 30230. Poverty rate reads 21.5% vs 12.5%, and unemployment 7.0% vs 2.1% — 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 $201,800 in 30241 versus $203,000 in 30230, with median rent of $1,106 and $1,195 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 53.5% vs 72.2%. 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.
