ZIP 84001 vs ZIP 84007

This side-by-side compares ZIP 84001 (Altamont, UT) and ZIP 84007 (Bluebell, UT) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 84001 has a population of 725 at 12 people per square mile, while ZIP 84007 has 740 at 6 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 84001 reports a median household income of $81,094 against $91,042 in ZIP 84007, with per-capita income of $25,720 vs $47,364. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 16.7% in 84001 and 15.2% in 84007. Poverty rate reads 3.8% vs 2.3%, and unemployment 1.4% vs 0.0% — 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 $223,600 in 84001 versus $360,900 in 84007, with median rent of $1,167 and $1,100 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 78.4% vs 58.2%. 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.
