ZIP 30634 vs ZIP 30624

This side-by-side compares ZIP 30634 (Dewy Rose, GA) and ZIP 30624 (Bowman, GA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 30634 has a population of 2,281 at 18 people per square mile, while ZIP 30624 has 2,611 at 23 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 30634 reports a median household income of $53,333 against $51,988 in ZIP 30624, with per-capita income of $29,603 vs $28,308. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 6.2% in 30634 and 9.4% in 30624. Poverty rate reads 8.4% vs 17.2%, and unemployment 0.5% vs 4.1% — 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 $118,300 in 30634 versus $101,100 in 30624, with median rent of $747 and $856 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 69.7% vs 75.2%. 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.
