ZIP 80610 vs ZIP 80615

This side-by-side compares ZIP 80610 (Ault, CO) and ZIP 80615 (Eaton, CO) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 80610 has a population of 2,791 at 6 people per square mile, while ZIP 80615 has 7,482 at 27 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 80610 reports a median household income of $92,153 against $107,308 in ZIP 80615, with per-capita income of $46,730 vs $62,822. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 23.6% in 80610 and 37.6% in 80615. Poverty rate reads 3.5% vs 13.3%, and unemployment 3.1% vs 5.6% — 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 $424,800 in 80610 versus $522,000 in 80615, with median rent of — and $1,560 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 83.5% vs 94.3%. 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.
