ZIP 84737 vs ZIP 84745

This side-by-side compares ZIP 84737 (Hurricane, UT) and ZIP 84745 (La Verkin, UT) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 84737 has a population of 14,838 at 29 people per square mile, while ZIP 84745 has 4,066 at 91 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 84737 reports a median household income of $75,545 against $68,269 in ZIP 84745, with per-capita income of $36,352 vs $24,350. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 27.8% in 84737 and 21.8% in 84745. Poverty rate reads 8.9% vs 23.5%, and unemployment 4.1% vs 5.7% — 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 $460,400 in 84737 versus $393,300 in 84745, with median rent of $1,427 and $1,392 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 75.6% vs 76.2%. 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.
