ZIP 60022 vs ZIP 60093

This side-by-side compares ZIP 60022 (Glencoe, IL) and ZIP 60093 (Winnetka, IL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both, no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 60022 has a population of 8,153 at 799 people per square mile, while ZIP 60093 has 19,570 at 887 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 60022 reports a median household income of $250,001 against $250,001 in ZIP 60093, with per-capita income of $147,290 vs $143,783. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 88.5% in 60022 and 81.1% in 60093. Poverty rate reads 2.2% vs 1.9%, and unemployment 3.4% vs 3.8% - 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 $1,392,900 in 60022 versus $1,177,800 in 60093, with median rent of $2,211 and $1,930 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 91.6% vs 91.4%. 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.
