Turpin, OK population, income and ZIP codes

Turpin CDP is a very small community in Oklahoma, with 433 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #395 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 53% of them. The median age here is 19.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Turpin CDP earn a median of $31,250 a year, 60.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 42% below the $53,500 median for the 240 Oklahoma cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 47.2% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Turpin CDP is valued at $83,600, 72.4% below the national figure and 34% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,307 a month, 7% below the national figure, or roughly $15,684 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 50.2% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is severely stretched — a median-income renter clears the cost-burden line by a wide margin before utilities beyond the gross-rent definition. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 83.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Turpin CDP is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 50.2% of median income while homes cost only 2.7× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. A median age of 19.4 means a large student or early-career population; income medians in places like this understate household resources, since many residents are supported from outside the address.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
