ZIP 74425 vs ZIP 74430

This side-by-side compares ZIP 74425 (Canadian, OK) and ZIP 74430 (Crowder, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 74425 has a population of 1,240 at 29 people per square mile, while ZIP 74430 has 588 at 35 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 74425 reports a median household income of $63,405 against $56,042 in ZIP 74430, with per-capita income of $30,163 vs $43,916. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 24.5% in 74425 and 38.6% in 74430. Poverty rate reads 13.4% vs 15.7%, and unemployment 0.6% vs 2.6% — 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 $154,700 in 74425 versus $121,700 in 74430, with median rent of $766 and $738 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 85.1% vs 87.1%. 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.
