Perkins lands in the national county income distribution as top-decile household income on low-population county footing (FIPS 46105, 4 ZIPs, combined population 2,829). On this short ZIP list the county page is mainly the FIPS bridge - household ACS fields live on the primary ZIP.

High income on only 4 ZIPs: the county page and the ZIP page nearly describe the same place. Prefer the ZIP detail for ACS household fields; keep this page for the FIPS join to county-level rents and crime tables.

Combined population stays under five thousand - this is a thin rural FIPS. Bookmark one ZIP; a multi-ZIP shortlist rarely adds signal beyond the primary code's ACS row.
