ZIP 45315 vs ZIP 45322

This side-by-side compares ZIP 45315 (Clayton, OH) and ZIP 45322 (Englewood, OH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 45315 has a population of 4,377 at 157 people per square mile, while ZIP 45322 has 21,447 at 416 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 45315 reports a median household income of $92,333 against $75,349 in ZIP 45322, with per-capita income of $51,043 vs $45,425. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 44.1% in 45315 and 27.0% in 45322. Poverty rate reads 2.4% vs 9.1%, and unemployment 2.3% vs 3.4% — 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 $213,300 in 45315 versus $179,700 in 45322, with median rent of $921 and $986 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 84.4% vs 76.0%. 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.
