ZIP 73547 vs ZIP 73655

This side-by-side compares ZIP 73547 (Granite, OK) and ZIP 73655 (Lone Wolf, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 73547 has a population of 2,319 at 7 people per square mile, while ZIP 73655 has 864 at 2 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 73547 reports a median household income of $64,444 against $54,792 in ZIP 73655, with per-capita income of $21,908 vs $27,122. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 10.3% in 73547 and 17.5% in 73655. Poverty rate reads 11.3% vs 19.2%, and unemployment 3.9% vs 6.2% — 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 $120,500 in 73547 versus $76,300 in 73655, with median rent of $704 and $600 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 72.6% vs 72.8%. 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.
