ZIP 84056 vs ZIP 84405

This side-by-side compares ZIP 84056 (Hill Afb, UT) and ZIP 84405 (Ogden, UT) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 84056 has a population of 3,310 at 136 people per square mile, while ZIP 84405 has 31,348 at 672 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 84056 reports a median household income of $69,352 against $84,106 in ZIP 84405, with per-capita income of $23,164 vs $38,165. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 19.7% in 84056 and 30.6% in 84405. Poverty rate reads 1.5% vs 7.5%, and unemployment 2.1% vs 2.5% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Homeownership rate is 1.8% vs 75.6%. 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.
