ZIP 73098 vs ZIP 73075

This side-by-side compares ZIP 73098 (Wynnewood, OK) and ZIP 73075 (Pauls Valley, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 73098 has a population of 4,227 at 12 people per square mile, while ZIP 73075 has 9,519 at 27 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 73098 reports a median household income of $55,536 against $54,540 in ZIP 73075, with per-capita income of $33,102 vs $30,520. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 20.8% in 73098 and 18.2% in 73075. Poverty rate reads 16.3% vs 17.5%, and unemployment 2.5% vs 3.5% — 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 $169,500 in 73098 versus $140,800 in 73075, with median rent of $823 and $876 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 66.6% vs 60.8%. 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.
