ZIP 73005 vs ZIP 73047

This side-by-side compares ZIP 73005 (Anadarko, OK) and ZIP 73047 (Hinton, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 73005 has a population of 9,541 at 24 people per square mile, while ZIP 73047 has 4,774 at 12 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 73005 reports a median household income of $46,176 against $63,784 in ZIP 73047, with per-capita income of $23,711 vs $24,352. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 13.0% in 73005 and 14.4% in 73047. Poverty rate reads 20.3% vs 20.3%, and unemployment 6.5% vs 3.3% — 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 $95,300 in 73005 versus $160,000 in 73047, with median rent of $766 and $897 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 64.0% vs 70.1%. 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.
