ZIP 80631 vs ZIP 80620

This side-by-side compares ZIP 80631 (Greeley, CO) and ZIP 80620 (Evans, CO) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 80631 has a population of 48,603 at 183 people per square mile, while ZIP 80620 has 17,775 at 1,040 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 80631 reports a median household income of $54,591 against $73,590 in ZIP 80620, with per-capita income of $26,185 vs $29,414. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 18.5% in 80631 and 20.8% in 80620. Poverty rate reads 22.5% vs 14.1%, and unemployment 7.1% vs 7.1% — 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 $336,600 in 80631 versus $341,700 in 80620, with median rent of $1,238 and $1,530 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 46.7% vs 67.5%. 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.
