Here we see the “College Spike” again.
For some reason its listing my old hometown zip, 13601 - which has always been Watertown - as Glen Falls, NY, a town I never even heard of in my 18 years growing up there. 
Maybe they switched zips after I moved?
My co-worker and I are having a great time with this. “Oh yeah?! I have 19 Lithuanians to your 5 Sierra Leoneans! Take some!”
Thanks, Astro.
Bah, I don’t get an aerial photo.
This is interesting, though:
Damn, that sucks.
Lily , that’s almost the same distribution as where I grew up: http://www.city-data.com/zips/06277.html
Otherwise, the demographic where I am now is completely described by “Baltimore” and “College”: http://www.city-data.com/zips/21218.html
Little bit of a difference between the two, and by that I mean almost totally opposite
-K.
Yes, the accuracy does seem a bit off at times. That, my friends, is a small city.
Not only that, but my home zip code (39503) goes to Lyman, MS, instead of Gulfport, which is listed as 39501.
Still a cool site, though. Thanks astro.
Remember though, it only gives the population of that particular zip code. Malibu must have others. I’m sure there are many commercial areas, business parks, and so forth that have their own zip code, so the resident population would indeed be zero.
A lot of the college guys around here complain there aren’t any women. I guess they’re right..
A large chunk of city blocks, including my house, is missing from the right side of the picture. It cuts off at 8th Ave, so about 7 square blocks in my Zip Code aren’t visible.
Compare it to this Zip Code Map and you’ll see what I mean. The DeYoung Museum is on the very right edge of the satellite photo - 7th Ave and everything East of it are missing. Boo!!
Oh well, at least I can see my househere.
(Classic San Francisco stats about my Zip Code: Population: over 55,000 people. Land area: 3.1 Square Miles. Houses built after 1999: 25. :D)
Ha. Try 99% for my staggeringly-overpriced home town.
Interesting results. According to this over 96% of my zip code is white. And those poor 15 year old boys - about 3.5 boys to 1 girl at that age.
Oh, since some others seem to be doing it…My apartment building is marked by the high school athletic field, with oval running track, visible near the left edge of the picture. I’m surprised to see that I can make out the individual building, near the lower right corner; a tiny trapezoide with a darker square within.
That’s my old high school by the way. There were some who thought I’d go far in life. They were wrong.
Go Fish!
http://www.city-data.com/zips/28659.html This is where my folks live in their disgustingly early (age 52) retirement. There are NO houses between a half and a full million, but there are 11 million dollar-plus homes; I got a one-word reason for that - NASCAR! At least two of those behemoths belong to Junior Johnson; one is for him and his new wife, can you guess who lives in t’other? Oh, and several are owned by members of the Tyson Chicken family. There’s big bucks in them li’l breasts!
Now that’s a college student spike!
Yeah, some of this data seems incomplete. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at how low the median income is, considering all the students.
My hometown basically consists of parents and kids. Not surprising at all. I guess this doesn’t represent my entire hometown; this zip code encompasses the newer parts of my town.
For fun, I looked at West Lafayette, IN, where I grew up. Definite college kid spike.
Right now I’m in Urbana, IL. Yet another college kid spike. Look at the ratio of males to females around age 20. That’s gotta hurt. My hypothesis: UIUC is known for its engineering school, and the majority of engineering students tend to be male…so there you go.
Damn it… according to this site, not only did I move from a city where there was a huge spike in women in my age with a corresponding drop in men to a city with the opposite occurance, the median income level here is alo double what it was back home.

Cool site.
Apparently, there are no 9 year olds, either gender. Just none. There are nearly no children at all, but I will still buy Halloween candy, just in case. Though I really never have a single Trick-or-treater. And now I know why.
40% of the houses were built before 1939. I always suspected I couldn’t buy here…apparently, most houses are between 400 and 750.
And apparently, there’s a huge spike of men between the ages of 25 and 30…so where are they all? And why can’t I get a date?
Damn, I’m exactly average for household income and age in my area. I know the house prices have gone WAY up though, and 140k will not buy the smallest thing in the area anymore.
My hometown is in extreme northern NY and it’s so small, they had to include nearby Winthrop in the totals. Brasher Falls itself has only about 300-400 people.
The ratio of white to non-white isn’t surprising, but I thought there were more than 4 black people. Maybe the other family moved since I left the area 10 years ago.
There are no houses over $199,999 and only 25 houses worth over $100,000. I’d move back there in a second if only there were some friggin’ jobs! My husband, who grew up in Troy, NY (pop. 52,000) loves my hometown. It’s very slow-paced and more relaxing. It’s a lovely area and the air smells so much better, too.
I miss it. 
Thanks for pointing out the college factor, twickster. I was wondering about the spike in my zip code: http://www.city-data.com/zips/20001.html but realized it’s probably because of Howard University.
I have a feeling some of that data is a little out-of-date, especially real estate prices. We’ve seen a huge jump in that area during the past couple of years.
I’m wondering about the 22,695 people in my zip whose first ancestry is listed as “other”–maybe this includes people who declined to specify their national origin on the census form?
