ZIP 67013 vs ZIP 67110

This side-by-side compares ZIP 67013 (Belle Plaine, KS) and ZIP 67110 (Mulvane, KS) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 67013 has a population of 3,145 at 15 people per square mile, while ZIP 67110 has 8,415 at 62 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 67013 reports a median household income of $69,831 against $85,391 in ZIP 67110, with per-capita income of $39,205 vs $40,133. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 23.9% in 67013 and 31.1% in 67110. Poverty rate reads 10.4% vs 7.5%, and unemployment 12.5% vs 6.7% — 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 $156,300 in 67013 versus $188,000 in 67110, with median rent of $770 and $1,070 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 69.5% vs 84.2%. 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.
