ZIP 43701 vs ZIP 43830

This side-by-side compares ZIP 43701 (Zanesville, OH) and ZIP 43830 (Nashport, OH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 43701 has a population of 55,643 at 119 people per square mile, while ZIP 43830 has 6,158 at 47 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 43701 reports a median household income of $57,565 against $88,346 in ZIP 43830, with per-capita income of $31,862 vs $41,396. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 19.1% in 43701 and 33.5% in 43830. Poverty rate reads 16.5% vs 10.6%, and unemployment 4.7% 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 $178,400 in 43701 versus $234,100 in 43830, with median rent of $826 and $971 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 63.4% vs 78.4%. 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.
