ZIP 67547 vs ZIP 67552

This side-by-side compares ZIP 67547 (Kinsley, KS) and ZIP 67552 (Lewis, KS) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 67547 has a population of 1,769 at 2 people per square mile, while ZIP 67552 has 720 at 1 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 67547 reports a median household income of $52,917 against $39,922 in ZIP 67552, with per-capita income of $32,187 vs $29,721. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 20.2% in 67547 and 17.4% in 67552. Poverty rate reads 15.7% vs 26.8%, and unemployment 6.0% vs 13.1% — 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 $73,500 in 67547 versus $58,700 in 67552, with median rent of $721 and $675 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 76.0% vs 82.2%. 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.
