ZIP 40019 vs ZIP 40057

This side-by-side compares ZIP 40019 (Eminence, KY) and ZIP 40057 (Pleasureville, KY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 40019 has a population of 3,789 at 39 people per square mile, while ZIP 40057 has 3,354 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 40019 reports a median household income of $60,761 against $77,866 in ZIP 40057, with per-capita income of $32,115 vs $31,040. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 14.8% in 40019 and 14.5% in 40057. Poverty rate reads 21.9% vs 7.9%, and unemployment 7.9% vs 3.9% — 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 $220,200 in 40019 versus $226,700 in 40057, with median rent of $837 and $1,171 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 63.6% vs 78.6%. 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.
