ZIP 73004 vs ZIP 73089

This side-by-side compares ZIP 73004 (Amber, OK) and ZIP 73089 (Tuttle, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 73004 has a population of 857 at 7 people per square mile, while ZIP 73089 has 11,522 at 42 per square mile. That difference in population size and density alone reshapes how every other metric should be interpreted — a higher-income ZIP with 1,200 residents behaves very differently from one with 45,000.

On income and education, ZIP 73004 reports a median household income of $83,036 against $103,048 in ZIP 73089, with per-capita income of $39,835 vs $41,706. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 21.6% in 73004 and 26.4% in 73089. Poverty rate reads 8.6% vs 7.2%, and unemployment 3.2% vs 4.0% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Housing separates these two ZIPs further: median home value sits at $162,900 in 73004 versus $291,300 in 73089, with median rent of $1,111 and $1,077 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 81.8% vs 86.6%. When reading the comparison table below, focus on paired metrics rather than single winners — a ZIP with lower home values and lower income is not strictly "worse" if rent-to-income ratios and commute times land in the same zone. Every value is pulled from the exact same ACS table so the two columns are genuinely comparable.
