ZIP 47448 vs ZIP 46160

This side-by-side compares ZIP 47448 (Nashville, IN) and ZIP 46160 (Morgantown, IN) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 47448 has a population of 7,505 at 15 people per square mile, while ZIP 46160 has 6,421 at 27 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 47448 reports a median household income of $72,537 against $76,445 in ZIP 46160, with per-capita income of $42,806 vs $39,203. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 27.5% in 47448 and 17.2% in 46160. Poverty rate reads 7.9% vs 9.0%, and unemployment 3.3% 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 $312,600 in 47448 versus $241,700 in 46160, with median rent of $915 and $915 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.7% vs 87.8%. 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.
