ZIP 68447 vs ZIP 68376

This side-by-side compares ZIP 68447 (Table Rock, NE) and ZIP 68376 (Humboldt, NE) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 68447 has a population of 464 at 4 people per square mile, while ZIP 68376 has 1,445 at 4 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 68447 reports a median household income of $64,063 against $52,000 in ZIP 68376, with per-capita income of $38,435 vs $37,424. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 19.7% in 68447 and 20.0% in 68376. Poverty rate reads 19.5% vs 10.6%, and unemployment 2.3% vs 1.2% — 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 $74,200 in 68447 versus $98,600 in 68376, with median rent of $719 and $504 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 69.2% vs 73.2%. 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.
