ZIP 38067 vs ZIP 38052

This side-by-side compares ZIP 38067 (Saulsbury, TN) and ZIP 38052 (Middleton, TN) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 38067 has a population of 1,476 at 9 people per square mile, while ZIP 38052 has 3,907 at 12 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 38067 reports a median household income of $57,689 against $50,588 in ZIP 38052, with per-capita income of $29,430 vs $25,181. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 8.4% in 38067 and 17.5% in 38052. Poverty rate reads 16.3% vs 19.0%, and unemployment 15.0% vs 9.0% — 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 $120,800 in 38067 versus $131,800 in 38052, with median rent of $679 and $781 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 87.2% vs 76.4%. 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.
