ZIP 47610 vs ZIP 47613

This side-by-side compares ZIP 47610 (Chandler, IN) and ZIP 47613 (Elberfeld, IN) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 47610 has a population of 5,195 at 56 people per square mile, while ZIP 47613 has 2,679 at 20 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 47610 reports a median household income of $78,259 against $112,112 in ZIP 47613, with per-capita income of $35,788 vs $45,074. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 21.1% in 47610 and 17.1% in 47613. Poverty rate reads 9.1% vs 4.8%, and unemployment 5.5% vs 6.7% — 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 $164,900 in 47610 versus $224,200 in 47613, with median rent of $1,003 and $775 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 88.4% vs 97.1%. 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.
