ZIP 44455 vs ZIP 44441

This side-by-side compares ZIP 44455 (Rogers, OH) and ZIP 44441 (Negley, OH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 44455 has a population of 1,890 at 35 people per square mile, while ZIP 44441 has 1,600 at 39 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 44455 reports a median household income of $71,050 against $144,412 in ZIP 44441, with per-capita income of $28,438 vs $55,015. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 13.9% in 44455 and 19.4% in 44441. Poverty rate reads 4.7% vs 8.9%, and unemployment 0.7% vs 3.3% — 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 $162,500 in 44455 versus $218,400 in 44441, with median rent of $673 and $733 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 84.1% vs 90.8%. 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.
