ZIP 45814 vs ZIP 45867

This side-by-side compares ZIP 45814 (Arlington, OH) and ZIP 45867 (Mount Blanchard, OH) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 45814 has a population of 2,620 at 28 people per square mile, while ZIP 45867 has 1,189 at 18 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 45814 reports a median household income of $91,115 against $101,250 in ZIP 45867, with per-capita income of $41,461 vs $55,312. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 27.4% in 45814 and 29.3% in 45867. Poverty rate reads 6.3% vs 3.4%, and unemployment 1.7% vs 0.0% — 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 $207,000 in 45814 versus $161,000 in 45867, with median rent of $1,063 and $875 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.1% vs 81.2%. 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.
