ZIP 84015 vs ZIP 84075

This side-by-side compares ZIP 84015 (Clearfield, UT) and ZIP 84075 (Syracuse, UT) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 84015 has a population of 62,494 at 1,141 people per square mile, while ZIP 84075 has 24,506 at 668 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 84015 reports a median household income of $95,519 against $133,286 in ZIP 84075, with per-capita income of $35,266 vs $41,644. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 24.7% in 84015 and 39.4% in 84075. Poverty rate reads 9.2% vs 4.8%, and unemployment 3.1% vs 1.2% — 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 $417,100 in 84015 versus $573,600 in 84075, with median rent of $1,512 and $2,140 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 75.5% vs 89.7%. 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.
