ZIP 84043 vs ZIP 84020

This side-by-side compares ZIP 84043 (Lehi, UT) and ZIP 84020 (Draper, UT) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 84043 has a population of 49,030 at 608 people per square mile, while ZIP 84020 has 39,765 at 610 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 84043 reports a median household income of $129,852 against $128,910 in ZIP 84020, with per-capita income of $43,181 vs $58,193. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 50.4% in 84043 and 51.9% in 84020. Poverty rate reads 5.1% vs 6.1%, and unemployment 4.0% vs 2.4% — 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 $607,500 in 84043 versus $784,800 in 84020, with median rent of $1,989 and $1,894 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 75.2% vs 68.6%. 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.
