ZIP 44410 vs ZIP 44484

This side-by-side compares ZIP 44410 (Cortland, OH) and ZIP 44484 (Warren, OH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 44410 has a population of 17,409 at 99 people per square mile, while ZIP 44484 has 22,991 at 508 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 44410 reports a median household income of $70,385 against $63,630 in ZIP 44484, with per-capita income of $40,791 vs $38,802. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 28.4% in 44410 and 29.5% in 44484. Poverty rate reads 9.9% vs 13.8%, and unemployment 1.6% vs 5.8% — 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 $197,700 in 44410 versus $175,900 in 44484, with median rent of $793 and $856 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 80.5% vs 72.1%. 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.
