ZIP 30314 vs ZIP 30310

This side-by-side compares ZIP 30314 (Atlanta, GA) and ZIP 30310 (Atlanta, GA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 30314 has a population of 22,020 at 1,836 people per square mile, while ZIP 30310 has 26,912 at 1,178 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 30314 reports a median household income of $42,089 against $53,037 in ZIP 30310, with per-capita income of $23,495 vs $38,453. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 33.3% in 30314 and 39.3% in 30310. Poverty rate reads 32.6% vs 23.4%, and unemployment 8.8% vs 7.6% — 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 $251,700 in 30314 versus $340,300 in 30310, with median rent of $1,097 and $1,224 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 43.3% vs 53.0%. 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.
