ZIP 59733

What ZIP 59733 actually tells you, and what it doesn't

The 59733 ZIP Code Tabulation Area has a population of 172 and a median household income of $72,500. Against the other tabulation areas in this dataset, it places as follows.

The median home costs around 4.8 times what a median household here earns in a year, placing 59733 in the most expensive quarter of reporting areas. Wherever the multiple runs this far ahead of local pay, ownership is largely closed to people earning the local median, and the rental figures below matter more than the sale price.

Renting takes an unusually small bite of local income -- about 12% of median household income at the median rent, in the lowest quarter of the 25,890 areas reporting both.

Half the residents are under 26.4, young enough to place 59733 in the youngest quarter of the 32,853 areas reporting an age. Campuses, barracks, and dense rental districts dominate this end of the range, and where that is the cause the income and poverty figures describe students rather than settled households.

The ACS publishes no unemployment rate for 59733. Those rows read "Not reported" below rather than zero; a suppressed estimate is not a measurement of nothing. Small resident counts are the usual reason the Bureau withholds one.

ZCTAs approximate USPS ZIP codes rather than matching them, and these are 5-year ACS estimates, so they trail current conditions.
