ZIP 80111 vs ZIP 80237

This side-by-side compares ZIP 80111 (Englewood, CO) and ZIP 80237 (Denver, CO) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 80111 has a population of 28,948 at 1,039 people per square mile, while ZIP 80237 has 17,569 at 1,886 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 80111 reports a median household income of $135,995 against $85,705 in ZIP 80237, with per-capita income of $89,894 vs $58,961. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 75.5% in 80111 and 61.7% in 80237. Poverty rate reads 2.9% vs 9.2%, and unemployment 2.5% vs 3.9% — 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 $916,500 in 80111 versus $582,500 in 80237, with median rent of $2,093 and $1,929 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 64.0% vs 43.8%. 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.
