ZIP 44216 vs ZIP 44614

This side-by-side compares ZIP 44216 (Clinton, OH) and ZIP 44614 (Canal Fulton, OH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 44216 has a population of 9,418 at 157 people per square mile, while ZIP 44614 has 12,595 at 217 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 44216 reports a median household income of $98,776 against $83,671 in ZIP 44614, with per-capita income of $42,160 vs $43,305. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 27.7% in 44216 and 28.1% in 44614. Poverty rate reads 5.6% vs 7.8%, and unemployment 3.0% vs 4.9% — 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 $236,300 in 44216 versus $208,900 in 44614, with median rent of $832 and $912 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 93.3% vs 80.3%. 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.
