ZIP 33332 vs ZIP 33029

This side-by-side compares ZIP 33332 (Fort Lauderdale, FL) and ZIP 33029 (Hollywood, FL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 33332 has a population of 11,199 at 141 people per square mile, while ZIP 33029 has 45,235 at 1,006 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 33332 reports a median household income of $172,730 against $146,237 in ZIP 33029, with per-capita income of $68,929 vs $52,371. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 67.0% in 33332 and 46.9% in 33029. Poverty rate reads 3.8% vs 4.5%, and unemployment 3.5% vs 4.0% — 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 $909,000 in 33332 versus $619,900 in 33029, with median rent of $3,501 and $2,635 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 86.7% vs 89.8%. 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.
