ZIP 62021 vs ZIP 62067

This side-by-side compares ZIP 62021 (Dorsey, IL) and ZIP 62067 (Moro, IL) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 62021 has a population of 936 at 18 people per square mile, while ZIP 62067 has 2,401 at 50 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 62021 reports a median household income of $107,454 against $72,431 in ZIP 62067, with per-capita income of $52,204 vs $37,471. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 31.7% in 62021 and 20.3% in 62067. Poverty rate reads 1.6% vs 6.4%, and unemployment 5.1% vs 2.4% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Homeownership rate is 99.7% vs 82.1%. 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.
