ZIP 54140 vs ZIP 54113

This side-by-side compares ZIP 54140 (Little Chute, WI) and ZIP 54113 (Combined Locks, WI) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 54140 has a population of 8,533 at 1,026 people per square mile, while ZIP 54113 has 3,325 at 746 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 54140 reports a median household income of $82,472 against $93,490 in ZIP 54113, with per-capita income of $41,309 vs $49,426. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 22.7% in 54140 and 33.5% in 54113. Poverty rate reads 7.2% vs 2.0%, and unemployment 1.1% vs 5.2% — 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 $227,000 in 54140 versus $246,000 in 54113, with median rent of $1,072 and — per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 65.2% vs 87.0%. 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.
