ZIP 67361 vs ZIP 67024

This side-by-side compares ZIP 67361 (Sedan, KS) and ZIP 67024 (Cedar Vale, KS) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 67361 has a population of 1,841 at 3 people per square mile, while ZIP 67024 has 849 at 2 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 67361 reports a median household income of $53,917 against $34,231 in ZIP 67024, with per-capita income of $30,272 vs $28,973. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 16.0% in 67361 and 41.9% in 67024. Poverty rate reads 15.7% vs 29.0%, and unemployment 2.8% vs 3.0% — 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 $64,400 in 67361 versus — in 67024, with median rent of $732 and $571 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 80.9% vs 82.6%. 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.
