ZIP 89032 vs ZIP 89031

This side-by-side compares ZIP 89032 (North Las Vegas, NV) and ZIP 89031 (North Las Vegas, NV) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 89032 has a population of 40,297 at 1,514 people per square mile, while ZIP 89031 has 60,589 at 2,462 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 89032 reports a median household income of $76,127 against $87,297 in ZIP 89031, with per-capita income of $31,193 vs $33,223. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 16.7% in 89032 and 19.4% in 89031. Poverty rate reads 11.0% vs 9.0%, and unemployment 11.4% vs 7.2% — 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 $371,400 in 89032 versus $407,300 in 89031, with median rent of $1,746 and $1,950 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 62.2% vs 73.1%. 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.
