ZIP 44010 vs ZIP 44041

This side-by-side compares ZIP 44010 (Austinburg, OH) and ZIP 44041 (Geneva, OH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 44010 has a population of 1,667 at 34 people per square mile, while ZIP 44041 has 14,979 at 90 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 44010 reports a median household income of $80,455 against $60,662 in ZIP 44041, with per-capita income of $35,626 vs $34,545. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 26.8% in 44010 and 18.5% in 44041. Poverty rate reads 13.9% vs 13.9%, and unemployment 6.9% vs 3.5% — 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 $223,300 in 44010 versus $174,200 in 44041, with median rent of $902 and $813 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 83.5% vs 77.2%. 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.
