ZIP 40372 vs ZIP 40330

This side-by-side compares ZIP 40372 (Salvisa, KY) and ZIP 40330 (Harrodsburg, KY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 40372 has a population of 2,128 at 15 people per square mile, while ZIP 40330 has 19,334 at 34 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 40372 reports a median household income of $74,205 against $63,992 in ZIP 40330, with per-capita income of $35,072 vs $33,373. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 23.1% in 40372 and 25.3% in 40330. Poverty rate reads 7.0% vs 10.7%, and unemployment 4.9% vs 4.3% — 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 $229,800 in 40372 versus $199,500 in 40330, with median rent of $866 and $824 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 83.5% vs 75.8%. 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.
