ZIP 41014 vs ZIP 41011

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