ZIP 36330 vs ZIP 36316

This side-by-side compares ZIP 36330 (Enterprise, AL) and ZIP 36316 (Chancellor, AL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 36330 has a population of 35,530 at 114 people per square mile, while ZIP 36316 has 1,722 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 36330 reports a median household income of $75,765 against $77,016 in ZIP 36316, with per-capita income of $35,298 vs $42,425. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 25.3% in 36330 and 26.5% in 36316. Poverty rate reads 16.0% vs 15.1%, and unemployment 4.6% vs 4.7% — 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 $207,700 in 36330 versus $207,800 in 36316, with median rent of $1,099 and $1,131 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 67.6% vs 86.9%. 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.
