ZIP 36064 vs ZIP 36013

This side-by-side compares ZIP 36064 (Pike Road, AL) and ZIP 36013 (Cecil, AL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 36064 has a population of 6,753 at 32 people per square mile, while ZIP 36013 has 562 at 13 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 36064 reports a median household income of $119,853 against $174,659 in ZIP 36013, with per-capita income of $51,791 vs $52,041.

Poverty rate reads 5.4% vs 0.0%, and unemployment 0.6% vs 0.0% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Homeownership rate is 86.8% vs 100.0%. 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.
