ZIP 47326 vs ZIP 46740

This side-by-side compares ZIP 47326 (Bryant, IN) and ZIP 46740 (Geneva, IN) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 47326 has a population of 2,295 at 13 people per square mile, while ZIP 46740 has 4,060 at 26 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 47326 reports a median household income of $48,438 against $58,484 in ZIP 46740, with per-capita income of $19,625 vs $19,692. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 12.7% in 47326 and 9.5% in 46740. Poverty rate reads 12.0% vs 16.8%, and unemployment 1.0% vs 2.3% — 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 $157,800 in 47326 versus $158,900 in 46740, with median rent of $739 and $676 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 93.2% vs 85.9%. 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.
