ZIP 84049 vs ZIP 84060

This side-by-side compares ZIP 84049 (Midway, UT) and ZIP 84060 (Park City, UT) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 84049 has a population of 4,372 at 20 people per square mile, while ZIP 84060 has 7,596 at 105 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 84049 reports a median household income of $151,343 against $128,295 in ZIP 84060, with per-capita income of $73,246 vs $109,692. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 64.1% in 84049 and 67.9% in 84060. Poverty rate reads 1.8% vs 6.5%, and unemployment 2.3% vs 0.8% — 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 $891,500 in 84049 versus $1,795,000 in 84060, with median rent of $3,399 and $1,943 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.8% vs 72.8%. 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.
