ZIP 67563 vs ZIP 67547

This side-by-side compares ZIP 67563 (Offerle, KS) and ZIP 67547 (Kinsley, KS) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 67563 has a population of 371 at 1 people per square mile, while ZIP 67547 has 1,769 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 67563 reports a median household income of $70,833 against $52,917 in ZIP 67547, with per-capita income of $32,923 vs $32,187. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 30.2% in 67563 and 20.2% in 67547. Poverty rate reads 14.7% vs 15.7%, and unemployment 0.0% vs 6.0% — 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 $77,500 in 67563 versus $73,500 in 67547, with median rent of $950 and $721 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 93.8% vs 76.0%. 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.
