ZIP 74464 vs ZIP 74441

This side-by-side compares ZIP 74464 (Tahlequah, OK) and ZIP 74441 (Hulbert, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 74464 has a population of 30,111 at 41 people per square mile, while ZIP 74441 has 5,362 at 15 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 74464 reports a median household income of $51,262 against $52,758 in ZIP 74441, with per-capita income of $28,593 vs $25,904. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 31.3% in 74464 and 21.9% in 74441. Poverty rate reads 18.2% vs 20.8%, and unemployment 5.9% vs 3.9% — 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 $174,000 in 74464 versus $158,400 in 74441, with median rent of $833 and $822 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 54.9% vs 86.0%. 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.
