ZIP 64040 vs ZIP 64061

This side-by-side compares ZIP 64040 (Holden, MO) and ZIP 64061 (Kingsville, MO) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 64040 has a population of 6,574 at 15 people per square mile, while ZIP 64061 has 3,387 at 20 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 64040 reports a median household income of $71,886 against $85,987 in ZIP 64061, with per-capita income of $33,106 vs $38,514. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 17.7% in 64040 and 23.7% in 64061. Poverty rate reads 10.6% vs 4.7%, and unemployment 5.2% vs 1.6% — 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 $228,400 in 64040 versus $283,000 in 64061, with median rent of $761 and $903 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.5% vs 95.0%. 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.
