ZIP 93725 vs ZIP 93625

This side-by-side compares ZIP 93725 (Fresno, CA) and ZIP 93625 (Fowler, CA) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 93725 has a population of 24,979 at 147 people per square mile, while ZIP 93625 has 7,313 at 114 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 93725 reports a median household income of $72,232 against $72,500 in ZIP 93625, with per-capita income of $25,107 vs $30,445. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 12.9% in 93725 and 26.8% in 93625. Poverty rate reads 16.8% vs 19.3%, and unemployment 7.9% vs 5.8% — 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 $281,800 in 93725 versus $392,700 in 93625, with median rent of $1,299 and $1,321 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 65.6% vs 60.2%. 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.
