ZIP 74720 vs ZIP 74747

This side-by-side compares ZIP 74720 (Achille, OK) and ZIP 74747 (Kemp, OK) using the same Census ACS 5-Year table fields for both — no averages swapped in, no national proxies. ZIP 74720 has a population of 608 at 18 people per square mile, while ZIP 74747 has 153 at 138 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 74720 reports a median household income of $50,833 against — in ZIP 74747, with per-capita income of $23,715 vs $28,187. The share of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher is 6.5% in 74720 and 26.4% in 74747. Poverty rate reads 9.9% vs 16.0%, and unemployment 1.2% vs 0.0% — 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 $78,800 in 74720 versus $114,400 in 74747, with median rent of $943 and $675 per month respectively. Homeownership rate is 77.2% vs 88.8%. 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.
