ZIP 32174 vs ZIP 32725

This side-by-side compares ZIP 32174 (Ormond Beach, FL) and ZIP 32725 (Deltona, FL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 32174 has a population of 47,552 at 149 people per square mile, while ZIP 32725 has 44,905 at 757 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 32174 reports a median household income of $71,011 against $73,152 in ZIP 32725, with per-capita income of $45,562 vs $32,311. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 34.1% in 32174 and 21.7% in 32725. Poverty rate reads 10.2% vs 11.2%, and unemployment 3.6% vs 2.9% — 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 $356,800 in 32174 versus $288,600 in 32725, with median rent of $1,413 and $1,688 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.4% vs 78.7%. 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.
