ZIP 33027 vs ZIP 33028

This side-by-side compares ZIP 33027 (Hollywood, FL) and ZIP 33028 (Pembroke Pines, FL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 33027 has a population of 57,663 at 1,666 people per square mile, while ZIP 33028 has 26,696 at 1,793 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 33027 reports a median household income of $76,561 against $119,091 in ZIP 33028, with per-capita income of $44,251 vs $48,031. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 43.4% in 33027 and 58.5% in 33028. Poverty rate reads 13.9% vs 4.7%, and unemployment 3.7% vs 3.8% — 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 $433,200 in 33027 versus $581,400 in 33028, with median rent of $1,832 and $2,511 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 77.8% vs 78.3%. 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.
