ZIP 54160 vs ZIP 54110

This side-by-side compares ZIP 54160 (Potter, WI) and ZIP 54110 (Brillion, WI) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 54160 has a population of 253 at 218 people per square mile, while ZIP 54110 has 5,338 at 32 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 54160 reports a median household income of $68,750 against $73,685 in ZIP 54110, with per-capita income of $34,869 vs $38,402. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 11.7% in 54160 and 19.6% in 54110. Poverty rate reads 3.2% vs 8.4%, and unemployment 0.0% vs 0.2% — 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 $177,100 in 54160 versus $223,900 in 54110, with median rent of $842 and $794 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 89.4% vs 82.4%. 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.
