ZIP 82515 vs ZIP 82510

This side-by-side compares ZIP 82515 (Hudson, WY) and ZIP 82510 (Arapahoe, WY) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 82515 has a population of 446 at 21 people per square mile, while ZIP 82510 has 423 at 7 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 82515 reports a median household income of $53,000 against $55,000 in ZIP 82510, with per-capita income of $31,585 vs $19,702. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 15.0% in 82515 and 11.2% in 82510. Poverty rate reads 11.4% vs 15.0%, and unemployment 4.3% vs 16.5% — 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 $180,600 in 82515 versus $162,500 in 82510, with median rent of $850 and $482 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 83.5% vs 57.5%. 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.
