ZIP 73050 vs ZIP 73027

This side-by-side compares ZIP 73050 (Langston, OK) and ZIP 73027 (Coyle, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 73050 has a population of 1,370 at 329 people per square mile, while ZIP 73027 has 1,493 at 7 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 73050 reports a median household income of $32,500 against $83,238 in ZIP 73027, with per-capita income of $7,111 vs $38,401. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 16.2% in 73050 and 29.7% in 73027. Poverty rate reads 25.2% vs 4.8%, and unemployment 13.7% vs 0.4% — these four fields alone drive most of the difference in the scorecard grades you will see for each ZIP.

Homeownership rate is 29.8% vs 89.8%. 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.
