ZIP 37714 vs ZIP 37710

This side-by-side compares ZIP 37714 (Caryville, TN) and ZIP 37710 (Briceville, TN) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 37714 has a population of 4,547 at 22 people per square mile, while ZIP 37710 has 1,141 at 5 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 37714 reports a median household income of $56,172 against $28,362 in ZIP 37710, with per-capita income of $30,710 vs $18,755. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 9.7% in 37714 and 6.5% in 37710. Poverty rate reads 12.1% vs 37.5%, and unemployment 4.6% vs 1.8% — 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 $227,600 in 37714 versus $90,600 in 37710, with median rent of $960 and $675 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 81.0% vs 81.8%. 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.
