ZIP 60564 vs ZIP 60503

This side-by-side compares ZIP 60564 (Naperville, IL) and ZIP 60503 (Aurora, IL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 60564 has a population of 41,312 at 993 people per square mile, while ZIP 60503 has 16,717 at 1,917 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 60564 reports a median household income of $181,382 against $136,726 in ZIP 60503, with per-capita income of $76,839 vs $48,227. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 74.2% in 60564 and 60.4% in 60503. Poverty rate reads 5.1% vs 2.0%, and unemployment 5.2% vs 4.4% — 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 $572,100 in 60564 versus $324,500 in 60503, with median rent of $2,217 and $2,274 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 88.1% vs 90.2%. 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.
