ZIP 91304 vs ZIP 91307

This side-by-side compares ZIP 91304 (Canoga Park, CA) and ZIP 91307 (West Hills, CA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 91304 has a population of 50,231 at 2,062 people per square mile, while ZIP 91307 has 24,474 at 1,173 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 91304 reports a median household income of $90,007 against $151,190 in ZIP 91307, with per-capita income of $44,870 vs $65,606. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 34.0% in 91304 and 52.3% in 91307. Poverty rate reads 10.9% vs 7.2%, and unemployment 8.1% vs 11.3% — 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 $886,400 in 91304 versus $963,900 in 91307, with median rent of $1,954 and $3,501 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 50.4% vs 79.5%. 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.
