ZIP 61930 vs ZIP 61919

This side-by-side compares ZIP 61930 (Hindsboro, IL) and ZIP 61919 (Camargo, IL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 61930 has a population of 515 at 6 people per square mile, while ZIP 61919 has 813 at 14 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 61930 reports a median household income of $79,531 against $87,188 in ZIP 61919, with per-capita income of $35,866 vs $40,992. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 28.8% in 61930 and 22.2% in 61919. Poverty rate reads 3.3% vs 4.7%, and unemployment 0.8% vs 2.8% — 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 $100,000 in 61930 versus $149,500 in 61919, with median rent of $914 and $550 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 89.2% vs 85.5%. 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.
