ZIP 33028 vs ZIP 33027

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