ZIP 84066 vs ZIP 84021

This side-by-side compares ZIP 84066 (Roosevelt, UT) and ZIP 84021 (Duchesne, UT) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 84066 has a population of 11,283 at 26 people per square mile, while ZIP 84021 has 3,323 at 2 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 84066 reports a median household income of $79,494 against $73,819 in ZIP 84021, with per-capita income of $32,586 vs $29,731. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 17.7% in 84066 and 14.6% in 84021. Poverty rate reads 12.1% vs 15.5%, and unemployment 4.6% vs 2.9% — 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 $286,800 in 84066 versus $271,500 in 84021, with median rent of $991 and $1,064 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 76.2% vs 86.1%. 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.
