ZIP 32621 vs ZIP 32618

This side-by-side compares ZIP 32621 (Bronson, FL) and ZIP 32618 (Archer, FL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 32621 has a population of 5,584 at 29 people per square mile, while ZIP 32618 has 7,732 at 33 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 32621 reports a median household income of $56,630 against $54,585 in ZIP 32618, with per-capita income of $29,793 vs $37,832. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 11.9% in 32621 and 27.3% in 32618. Poverty rate reads 21.9% vs 21.8%, and unemployment 3.4% vs 6.9% — 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 $142,700 in 32621 versus $205,600 in 32618, with median rent of $812 and $1,355 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 83.5% vs 79.4%. 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.
