ZIP 41011 vs ZIP 41014

This side-by-side compares ZIP 41011 (Covington, KY) and ZIP 41014 (Covington, KY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 41011 has a population of 25,872 at 1,403 people per square mile, while ZIP 41014 has 6,942 at 2,523 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 41011 reports a median household income of $69,970 against $61,382 in ZIP 41014, with per-capita income of $48,547 vs $31,331. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 47.5% in 41011 and 26.6% in 41014. Poverty rate reads 15.9% vs 24.1%, and unemployment 5.0% vs 5.8% — 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 $304,200 in 41011 versus $164,700 in 41014, with median rent of $1,088 and $1,040 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 46.1% vs 52.0%. 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.
