Is ZIP code 73401 safe? Honest data snapshot

ZIP code 73401 sits within Carter County, OK. The figures below are the county's own FBI UCR numbers for 2024, the most accurate available statistic for this location, not a ZIP-specific calculation.

Carter County reported a violent-crime rate of 27 per 100,000 residents and a property-crime rate of 360 per 100,000 in 2024, drawing on county-level agency submissions.

Based on just 13 reported violent incidents across a county population of 48,003, this count is too low to support a reliable per-100K rate comparison. It may reflect a genuinely low-crime county, or it may reflect incomplete agency-level reporting to the FBI UCR Program for this county and year, small county-level counts are common in FBI Table 10 and should be treated as a data point, not a precise safety ranking.

ZIP 73401 is the largest ZIP in Carter County by population, 36,324 residents (#1 of 12 county ZIPs), across 351.54 square miles (103/sq mi). For a full breakdown of Carter County's crime categories and year-over-year trend, see the Carter County crime page linked below.
