ZIP 33021 vs ZIP 33020

This side-by-side compares ZIP 33021 (Hollywood, FL) and ZIP 33020 (Hollywood, FL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 33021 has a population of 45,921 at 2,036 people per square mile, while ZIP 33020 has 41,329 at 2,637 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 33021 reports a median household income of $71,318 against $56,473 in ZIP 33020, with per-capita income of $42,513 vs $33,274. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 39.7% in 33021 and 29.7% in 33020. Poverty rate reads 12.0% vs 19.8%, and unemployment 5.4% vs 8.3% — 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 $424,100 in 33021 versus $353,300 in 33020, with median rent of $1,775 and $1,536 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 67.9% vs 36.5%. 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.
