I was forwarded a link to this website by a friend and have been looking for an online tool like this for awhile. You can look up any zip code in the US and pull demographic information and easily compare with other zip code demographics. It’s a great way to compare neighborhoods, but some zip codes are spread out a bit strangely in Columbus, so they might not be quite as accurate a description as you like.
Anyway, check it out: http://www.zipskinny.com
Wow. It’s crazy to see how ridiculously similar my hometown is to my wife’s. 44057/44641. Demographics is destiny.
Interesting to see that the highest population density for the state is in Kent, Ohio.
Not sure I”m buying the stats myself.
43210
61% have graduate or professional degree??? Interesting, with a median income of 20k and not a single 6 figure earner…and 25% below the poverty line.
88.7% have never been married???
according to that website, EVERYONE in White Cottage Ohio is married.

100%
and everyone has the same income, and everyone is white… and I guess everyone has the same job because that’s grey’d out.
And only 15 people live there.
Funtastic!

Isn’t that OSU?
43210 is campus
Those stats may be right for it though. If it is based on the census most college kids will be included with their parents data, not their own. The remainder of residents will probably be grad students and profs. Doubt anyone with a 6 figure lives there at all though.
Here is another site that has a some other data that is nice as well:

…no, there’s no way that 61% of the residents of campus HAVE a graduate or professional degree….AND make 20k a year.
43210 is this area:
On-campus. Not much of the off-campus area.

I think it’s a tricky area to try and guesstimate whether the census data is accurate for the people who live there. I’d bet that the majority of underclassmen do not use their dorm rooms as their permanent addresses. I’m sure a lot of them are still claimed as dependents of their parents on their taxes, so I’m sure the census data probably wouldn’t include them as residents in this zip code either.
I mean, it shows the population of that area as being 9728, and I’m willing to bet there are more people living in that area than that. Just not a lot of them actually claim that they live here.
And when filling out census data, does “graduate or professional degree” mean it’s completed or that it’s being obtained? If there isn’t a good definition given, I’m sure graduate students would probably check that box even though they’re still working on their degrees.
Yeah remember that 43210 is the actual campus grounds of OSU, not the denser neighborhoods around it. Half of that land (all west of the river) is athletic fields, suburban style development and parking lots.
Maybe 8,000-10,000 students live in in dorms which is a minority of the students. And most the dorms are on the north and south edge of 43210. Thinking about this…… OSU campus proper and downtown have a similar time-use scenario with an active daytime population but an emptying out after worktime to the edges.
Nice to see that 43201 (short north, Victorian Village, IV WP, University district )has the highest % of folks in poverty- 47%. That is the most urban and happening part of town. Urbanism and density area a result of lower incomes.
I actually think that’s really HIGH for the people who actually LIVE in that area, as opposed to students living in dorms. I suppose the folks living in the graduate & professional housing may consider themselves at least long-term residents… But really, given that the ZIP is ONLY OSU-owned land…
I mean, how many people do you suppose are living in 43210 during the Summer, for example?
How did you come to that conclusion?
How did you come to that conclusion?
I suspect that that’s probably generally true, at least during a city’s early stages of growth. If the density isn’t established early on, it’s difficult to evolve it later on, no?
Poor people do not buy land let alone acres of it. New Albany excludes the poor because all the building lots are huge for a single house.
The highest densities in the world are likely in the slummiest places. Tenement buildings. Sure some high folks live in towers here and there, but that is not the norm.
