ZIP 91350 vs ZIP 91351

This side-by-side compares ZIP 91350 (Santa Clarita, CA) and ZIP 91351 (Canyon Country, CA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 91350 has a population of 33,348 at 760 people per square mile, while ZIP 91351 has 32,362 at 1,306 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 91350 reports a median household income of $140,110 against $115,364 in ZIP 91351, with per-capita income of $52,239 vs $41,788. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 41.8% in 91350 and 25.0% in 91351. Poverty rate reads 5.8% vs 9.0%, and unemployment 4.4% vs 7.5% — 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 $801,300 in 91350 versus $608,500 in 91351, with median rent of $2,531 and $2,341 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.5% vs 72.7%. 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.
