ZIP 32009 vs ZIP 32220

This side-by-side compares ZIP 32009 (Bryceville, FL) and ZIP 32220 (Jacksonville, FL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 32009 has a population of 3,325 at 15 people per square mile, while ZIP 32220 has 12,946 at 81 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 32009 reports a median household income of $72,792 against $81,792 in ZIP 32220, with per-capita income of $38,260 vs $36,483. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 17.5% in 32009 and 19.6% in 32220. Poverty rate reads 12.7% vs 10.9%, and unemployment 1.6% vs 1.1% — 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 $277,700 in 32009 versus $254,700 in 32220, with median rent of $919 and $1,330 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 91.4% vs 86.3%. 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.
