ZIP 66207 vs ZIP 66206

This side-by-side compares ZIP 66207 (Overland Park, KS) and ZIP 66206 (Leawood, KS) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 66207 has a population of 13,004 at 1,074 people per square mile, while ZIP 66206 has 9,693 at 948 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 66207 reports a median household income of $125,153 against $174,394 in ZIP 66206, with per-capita income of $66,342 vs $84,069. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 72.7% in 66207 and 78.0% in 66206. Poverty rate reads 4.0% vs 2.6%, and unemployment 2.2% vs 1.0% — 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 $440,500 in 66207 versus $672,100 in 66206, with median rent of $1,919 and $2,262 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 78.4% vs 86.5%. 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.
