ZIP 61335 vs ZIP 61336

This side-by-side compares ZIP 61335 (Mc Nabb, IL) and ZIP 61336 (Magnolia, IL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 61335 has a population of 532 at 10 people per square mile, while ZIP 61336 has 628 at 6 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 61335 reports a median household income of $71,750 against $92,298 in ZIP 61336, with per-capita income of $32,007 vs $40,953. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 25.6% in 61335 and 20.0% in 61336. Poverty rate reads 3.5% vs 9.1%, and unemployment 1.4% vs 2.2% — 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 $169,600 in 61335 versus $174,300 in 61336, with median rent of $833 and $1,557 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 84.3% vs 81.4%. 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.
