Norman, OK population, income and ZIP codes

Norman city is a mid-size city in Oklahoma, with 128,714 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #3 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 31.6 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.

Households in Norman city earn a median of $65,060 a year, 17.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 22% above the $53,500 median for the 240 Oklahoma cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 17% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Norman city is valued at $239,300, 21.1% below the national figure and 90% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,064 a month, 24.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,768 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 52.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
