ZIP 40445 vs ZIP 40460

This side-by-side compares ZIP 40445 (Livingston, KY) and ZIP 40460 (Orlando, KY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 40445 has a population of 997 at 8 people per square mile, while ZIP 40460 has 1,129 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 40445 reports a median household income of $39,449 against $35,417 in ZIP 40460, with per-capita income of $26,694 vs $17,089. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 4.5% in 40445 and 4.3% in 40460. Poverty rate reads 42.1% vs 57.4%, and unemployment 15.1% vs 2.5% — 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 $82,800 in 40445 versus $69,000 in 40460, with median rent of $553 and $838 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 78.0% vs 89.4%. 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.
