ZIP 64151 vs ZIP 64150

This side-by-side compares ZIP 64151 (Kansas City, MO) and ZIP 64150 (Riverside, MO) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 64151 has a population of 24,134 at 708 people per square mile, while ZIP 64150 has 3,048 at 211 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 64151 reports a median household income of $92,876 against $58,846 in ZIP 64150, with per-capita income of $47,892 vs $41,060. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 46.0% in 64151 and 36.1% in 64150. Poverty rate reads 8.7% vs 16.8%, and unemployment 3.0% vs 6.1% — 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 $323,000 in 64151 versus $394,000 in 64150, with median rent of $1,412 and $959 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 63.4% vs 45.1%. 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.
