ZIP 60103 vs ZIP 60133

This side-by-side compares ZIP 60103 (Bartlett, IL) and ZIP 60133 (Hanover Park, IL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 60103 has a population of 41,928 at 842 people per square mile, while ZIP 60133 has 38,103 at 1,809 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 60103 reports a median household income of $133,793 against $91,763 in ZIP 60133, with per-capita income of $53,523 vs $33,213. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 49.3% in 60103 and 28.9% in 60133. Poverty rate reads 4.1% vs 12.5%, and unemployment 3.1% vs 5.0% — 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 $379,000 in 60103 versus $274,200 in 60133, with median rent of $1,877 and $1,594 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 89.3% vs 77.5%. 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.
