ZIP code 73106

ZIP 73106 is a mid-size town in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, with 13,019 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #101 of 664 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 29.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.

Households in ZIP 73106 earn a median of $51,934 a year, 33.9% below the national figure of $78,538. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 25.6% 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 73106 is valued at $262,500, 13.5% below the national figure, while median gross rent runs $1,050 a month, 25.3% below the national figure, or roughly $12,600 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24.3% 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 5.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 35.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

A median age of 29.9 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.

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.

ZIP 73106 is tabulated inside Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, one of 52 ZIP areas the Census publishes for that county and 664 across Oklahoma. This is a mid-sized suburban ZIP inside a county that is split across many delivery areas. 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 73106 can be handled by a post office in a neighbouring county even though the tabulation area is filed here.

Against its own county, 73106 reports a median household income of $51,934, 19% below the $64,130 county median, and 10% below the $57,827 typical OK ZIP. Owner-occupied homes are valued at a median of $262,500, 27% above the county figure and 104% above the statewide ZIP median. Rent is reported gross — the contract amount plus tenant-paid utilities — at $1,050 a month, which is why it reads higher than the advertised rent on a listing for the same unit.

A taxable purchase made inside 73106 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 73106 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 73106 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.
