ZIP 90064 vs ZIP 90025

This side-by-side compares ZIP 90064 (Los Angeles, CA) and ZIP 90025 (Los Angeles, CA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 90064 has a population of 25,403 at 2,445 people per square mile, while ZIP 90025 has 42,147 at 6,334 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 90064 reports a median household income of $135,383 against $103,894 in ZIP 90025, with per-capita income of $102,148 vs $77,516. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 70.5% in 90064 and 71.0% in 90025. Poverty rate reads 7.8% vs 12.7%, and unemployment 5.4% vs 8.5% — 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 $1,765,300 in 90064 versus $1,079,700 in 90025, with median rent of $2,855 and $2,488 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 49.5% vs 24.1%. 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.
