ZIP 33031 vs ZIP 33030

This side-by-side compares ZIP 33031 (Homestead, FL) and ZIP 33030 (Homestead, FL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 33031 has a population of 5,859 at 106 people per square mile, while ZIP 33030 has 34,110 at 717 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 33031 reports a median household income of $109,945 against $46,202 in ZIP 33030, with per-capita income of $41,351 vs $19,726. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 18.4% in 33031 and 13.7% in 33030. Poverty rate reads 7.9% vs 29.9%, and unemployment 6.7% vs 2.3% — 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 $497,400 in 33031 versus $425,400 in 33030, with median rent of $1,745 and $1,389 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 87.0% vs 43.6%. 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.
