ZIP 72015 vs ZIP 72167

This side-by-side compares ZIP 72015 (Benton, AR) and ZIP 72167 (Traskwood, AR) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 72015 has a population of 27,307 at 129 people per square mile, while ZIP 72167 has 1,719 at 15 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 72015 reports a median household income of $66,107 against $89,886 in ZIP 72167, with per-capita income of $34,318 vs $52,703. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 22.7% in 72015 and 29.4% in 72167. Poverty rate reads 8.4% vs 9.6%, and unemployment 2.6% vs 5.1% — 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 $180,300 in 72015 versus $211,100 in 72167, with median rent of $1,089 and — per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 72.6% vs 95.8%. 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.
