ZIP 32460 vs ZIP 32442

This side-by-side compares ZIP 32460 (Sneads, FL) and ZIP 32442 (Grand Ridge, FL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 32460 has a population of 5,856 at 31 people per square mile, while ZIP 32442 has 3,699 at 15 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 32460 reports a median household income of $51,497 against $45,500 in ZIP 32442, with per-capita income of $21,057 vs $23,371. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 12.1% in 32460 and 13.0% in 32442. Poverty rate reads 14.9% vs 30.8%, and unemployment 3.0% vs 4.5% — 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 $116,400 in 32460 versus $114,200 in 32442, with median rent of $785 and $789 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 73.2% 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.
