ZIP 43759 vs ZIP 43719

This side-by-side compares ZIP 43759 (Morristown, OH) and ZIP 43719 (Bethesda, OH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 43759 has a population of 66 at 182 people per square mile, while ZIP 43719 has 2,601 at 27 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 43759 reports a median household income of $63,750 against $49,091 in ZIP 43719, with per-capita income of $29,370 vs $38,476. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 20.0% in 43759 and 26.2% in 43719. Poverty rate reads 8.8% vs 21.2%, and unemployment 20.0% vs 1.5% — 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 $102,500 in 43759 versus $168,600 in 43719, with median rent of $1,021 and $693 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 66.7% vs 75.1%. 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.
