ZIP 73062 vs ZIP 73041

This side-by-side compares ZIP 73062 (Mountain View, OK) and ZIP 73041 (Gotebo, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 73062 has a population of 1,396 at 2 people per square mile, while ZIP 73041 has 366 at 1 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 73062 reports a median household income of $53,281 against $55,625 in ZIP 73041, with per-capita income of $33,354 vs $36,470. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 21.6% in 73062 and 15.6% in 73041. Poverty rate reads 20.1% vs 12.1%, and unemployment 5.2% vs 1.1% — 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 $94,500 in 73062 versus $123,100 in 73041, with median rent of $489 and $691 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 82.2% vs 77.1%. 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.
