ZIP Code 73726 health estimates
Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. 458 residents in the 2020 Census, 346 adults.
A ZIP Code on this page is a Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA). The Census Bureau makes ZCTAs to approximate the areas of postal ZIP Codes. A ZCTA and a postal ZIP Code can differ.
This page is not in the search index. It has been out of the index since 1 Oct 2026. Fewer than 500 residents live in the area, so the intervals are wide.
The figures are model-based estimates for the adults of an area. They are not measurements. They say nothing about one person.
We do not produce estimates for individuals; only aggregated results for counties, places, census tracts, or ZCTAs.
First, it is not adequate to simply compare point estimates. The confidence intervals should also be considered, and some are very broad.
