Kent lands in the national county income distribution as above-median household income on mid-size county footing (FIPS 10001, 16 ZIPs, combined population 158,083). Sort the ZIP table by population before treating the county mean as uniform.
Above-median income across 16 ZIPs means the county average is a compromise. Sort by population, save the largest urban ZIP and one sparse code, then compare - that pair usually shows whether density or income is doing the work inside Kent.
Save two ZIPs from the table into your shortlist, then open a compare link - that is the return path a static county summary cannot replace. All figures here come from Census ACS 2023 5-Year Estimates and USPS ZCTA files.
