ZIP code 73104

ZIP 73104 is a small town in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, with 3,746 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #218 of 664 ranked by population — larger than 67% of them. The median age here is 29.3 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 ZIP 73104 earn a median of $69,886 a year, 11% below the national figure of $78,538. 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 19.2% 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 ZIP 73104 is valued at $341,300, 12.5% above the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,536 a month, 9.2% above the national figure, or roughly $18,432 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 15.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.

A median age of 29.3 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.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.

ZIP 73104 is tabulated inside Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, one of 52 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 664 across Oklahoma. Population sits in the small-town band, typically one main street plus the addresses that feed into it. County assignment on this page follows the largest share of the ZIP's land area, which matters where a delivery route crosses a county line: mail addressed to 73104 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 73104 reports a median household income of $69,886, 9% above the $64,130 county median, and 21% above the $57,827 typical OK ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $341,300, 65% above the county figure and 165% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,536 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 73104 carries 8.625% at the register, assembled from the Oklahoma City jurisdiction stack: the Oklahoma state rate plus every county, municipal and special district levy that reaches this address. Because those district boundaries were drawn for schools, transit and hospital funding rather than for mail delivery, two addresses inside 73104 can legitimately fall under different totals — the rate shown here is the one that applies to the dominant jurisdiction.

Everything above comes from the Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates for this ZIP Code Tabulation Area, with sales tax rates traced to the state revenue agency. Five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses, so they are stable enough to compare 73104 with its neighbours but always trail the current year, and any value the Census suppressed for sample size is shown as unpublished rather than filled in with a model.
