Rather than a sharp rise, 73013’s decision signal is a high current asking-rent reference alongside a slower recent pace. In June 2026, Zillow ZIP ZORI is $1,697 per month. It is a typical observed asking-rent index blended across rental types, not an advertised quote for one vacant home or a measure of rent paid by existing tenants. The figure is useful as a broad current benchmark for this market identifier, but it must be read alongside its historical path and separate survey and administrative measures. Neither its level nor a later comparison identifies a property’s condition, lease terms, utility treatment, or availability.
Through that June endpoint, the direct Zillow ZIP ZORI history showed exact same-month movement of 2.1% over one year, against annualized gains of 3.0% over three years and 4.0% over five years. The latest direction therefore confirms the longer upward path—rent remained higher than the matching prior month—but breaks from the earlier faster pace. Annualized monthly-return variability was 1.7%, and maximum drawdown was −2.8%; 100% history coverage makes this a complete observed series for the available period, not a forecast. Transparent national discovery ranks among history-eligible ZIPs were 1,245 for momentum, 30 for stability, and 348 for balanced performance, where lower ranks are higher. Limited historical variation and drawdown support more confidence in the index as a broad snapshot, but do not make the current value a precise property quote.
That five-digit label is both Zillow’s ZIP market identifier and a match to a Census ZCTA. A ZCTA is a statistical area, not identical to a USPS delivery ZIP, so the sources are aligned for broad geography rather than made interchangeable. The ACS 2024 five-year survey places median gross rent at $1,547, with a margin of error of $88, for occupied renter homes and includes selected utilities. This is a separate evidence universe from ZORI’s current observed asking-rent index. The gap between the figures should not be read as a premium, discount, or change in one rental market because the populations, timing, and rent concepts differ.
Bedroom framing is deliberately modelled rather than observed. Scaling ZIP ZORI with the local HUD FMR/SAFMR bedroom ladder yields modelled monthly ZIP estimates of $1,278 for a studio, $1,388 for one bedroom, $1,697 for two bedrooms, $2,286 for three bedrooms, and $2,536 for four bedrooms. HUD FMR/SAFMR is an administrative bedroom-specific standard, not asking rent. Consequently, this ladder supplies modelled estimates, never measured bedroom rents; it does not establish what any advertised apartment or house is asking.
The 30% required-income screen is arithmetic, not advice and not an applicant qualification rule. Applying it to the current monthly index produces $67,880 in annual income at that threshold. The ACS ZCTA’s median household income is $113,870, making the annualized index equal to 17.9% of that all-household median. This comparison is a ratio, not a claim that renter households have the median income or that a listed unit will cost the index. Separately, ACS reports 2,185 of 5,251 renter households at or above the 30% gross-rent burden threshold, or 41.6%. This survey burden measure describes households in aggregate and cannot prove that a particular unit is affordable or burdensome to an applicant.
Housing stock also comes from the matched ZCTA survey: 22,997 housing units, of which 1,082 were vacant, for a 4.7% vacancy rate. These are survey-based stock measures rather than a live availability feed; they do not show that any specific rental is ready, comparable, or priced at ZORI. For wider context only, the Edmond city context rent is about $1,701, the Oklahoma County context rent is $1,359, and the Oklahoma City, OK metro context rent is $1,393. The city, county, and metro figures are context rather than ZIP measurements and should not be substituted for this ZIP’s index, ZCTA survey values, or a property quote.
This record has material limits. ZORI blends rental types; ACS medians describe occupied renter homes across a survey window; HUD standards are administrative; and the history is backward-looking rather than a rent forecast or investment signal. A property-level read needs the advertised asking rent, bedroom count, exact location, listing date, lease length, utility inclusions, concessions, fees, deposit, occupancy status, and actual availability. It also needs the listing’s delivery address reconciled with market geography because a ZCTA is not a USPS delivery ZIP. Those checks keep broad benchmarks from being mistaken for a unit-level valuation. The decisive question is whether the specific unit’s present terms and characteristics actually match the evidence universe being used for comparison?
","findings":[{"body":"Same-month ZORI movement remained positive at the endpoint, yet its latest one-year pace was below both the three-year and five-year annualized rates.
