ZIP 64720 vs ZIP 64725

This side-by-side compares ZIP 64720 (Adrian, MO) and ZIP 64725 (Archie, MO) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 64720 has a population of 3,843 at 11 people per square mile, while ZIP 64725 has 2,271 at 15 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 64720 reports a median household income of $75,479 against $84,722 in ZIP 64725, with per-capita income of $30,321 vs $37,938. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 13.2% in 64720 and 19.2% in 64725. Poverty rate reads 7.5% vs 3.8%, and unemployment 5.6% vs 1.1% — 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 $190,900 in 64720 versus $232,100 in 64725, with median rent of $644 and $1,185 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 78.4% vs 81.5%. 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.
