ZIP 89031 vs ZIP 89030

This side-by-side compares ZIP 89031 (North Las Vegas, NV) and ZIP 89030 (North Las Vegas, NV) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 89031 has a population of 60,589 at 2,462 people per square mile, while ZIP 89030 has 53,928 at 2,221 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 89031 reports a median household income of $87,297 against $47,937 in ZIP 89030, with per-capita income of $33,223 vs $19,626. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 19.4% in 89031 and 5.3% in 89030. Poverty rate reads 9.0% vs 26.1%, and unemployment 7.2% vs 9.7% — 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 $407,300 in 89031 versus $271,600 in 89030, with median rent of $1,950 and $1,189 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 73.1% vs 35.3%. 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.
