ZIP 84301 vs ZIP 84314

This side-by-side compares ZIP 84301 (Bear River City, UT) and ZIP 84314 (Honeyville, UT) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 84301 has a population of 883 at 78 people per square mile, while ZIP 84314 has 1,031 at 50 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 84301 reports a median household income of $89,583 against $87,578 in ZIP 84314, with per-capita income of $34,853 vs $36,344. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 22.4% in 84301 and 33.5% in 84314. Poverty rate reads 2.2% vs 3.7%, and unemployment 2.8% vs 3.6% — 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 $433,100 in 84301 versus $451,200 in 84314, with median rent of $1,125 and $1,325 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 83.0% vs 84.8%. 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.
