ZIP 73025 vs ZIP 73012

This side-by-side compares ZIP 73025 (Edmond, OK) and ZIP 73012 (Edmond, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 73025 has a population of 11,579 at 85 people per square mile, while ZIP 73012 has 25,851 at 280 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 73025 reports a median household income of $176,149 against $126,659 in ZIP 73012, with per-capita income of $74,483 vs $54,129. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 59.8% in 73025 and 57.6% in 73012. Poverty rate reads 4.6% vs 5.1%, and unemployment 2.8% vs 3.0% — 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 $454,700 in 73025 versus $328,000 in 73012, with median rent of $2,426 and $1,826 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 97.8% vs 80.9%. 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.
