ZIP 90212 vs ZIP 90067

This side-by-side compares ZIP 90212 (Beverly Hills, CA) and ZIP 90067 (Los Angeles, CA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 90212 has a population of 11,555 at 4,670 people per square mile, while ZIP 90067 has 2,424 at 2,852 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 90212 reports a median household income of $118,019 against $195,433 in ZIP 90067, with per-capita income of $111,467 vs $145,714. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 76.6% in 90212 and 77.0% in 90067. Poverty rate reads 7.6% vs 8.7%, and unemployment 11.0% vs 4.3% — 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 $2,000,001 in 90212 versus $1,509,400 in 90067, with median rent of $2,702 and $3,501 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 21.1% vs 65.4%. 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.
