ZIP 44720 vs ZIP 44685

This side-by-side compares ZIP 44720 (North Canton, OH) and ZIP 44685 (Uniontown, OH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 44720 has a population of 39,010 at 442 people per square mile, while ZIP 44685 has 27,556 at 415 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 44720 reports a median household income of $82,594 against $102,773 in ZIP 44685, with per-capita income of $49,642 vs $48,096. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 43.9% in 44720 and 41.9% in 44685. Poverty rate reads 5.6% vs 5.6%, and unemployment 2.1% vs 2.0% — 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 $243,500 in 44720 versus $273,000 in 44685, with median rent of $1,032 and $1,275 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 71.8% vs 82.3%. 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.
