ZIP 73801 vs ZIP 73852

This side-by-side compares ZIP 73801 (Woodward, OK) and ZIP 73852 (Mooreland, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 73801 has a population of 15,228 at 12 people per square mile, while ZIP 73852 has 2,051 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 73801 reports a median household income of $58,877 against $66,229 in ZIP 73852, with per-capita income of $35,655 vs $32,955. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 18.6% in 73801 and 29.7% in 73852. Poverty rate reads 15.0% vs 12.9%, and unemployment 6.8% vs 0.3% — 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 $169,100 in 73801 versus $161,200 in 73852, with median rent of $829 and $852 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 69.9% vs 85.8%. 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.
