  • Of the 121 total residents, 107 live in institutionalized group quarters according to 2020 Census data.
  • The ZIP covers only 0.081 square miles and is completely enclosed within neighboring ZIP 73069.

  • The post office maintains 1,176 business box accounts, showing significant commercial and institutional mail volume.

Institutional Mail Hub

ZIP code 73070 serves Norman, Oklahoma, but it doesn't function like a typical neighborhood ZIP. The 121 residents live in just 2 occupied housing units, which works out to 60.5 people per household. That ratio doesn't happen in standard residential areas. It happens when most of the population is institutionalized: 107 of the 121 people here live in group quarters, according to 2020 Census data.

PO Box Regional Service

This is a PO Box ZIP that operates as a mail hub for institutional populations. The post office maintains 1,225 PO Boxes for a population of 121. That's an adoption rate of 612.5%, which tells you most boxes serve people outside this specific ZIP code boundary. Norman's correctional facilities and other institutions use this postal infrastructure, and the surrounding community does too. The ZIP is geographically tiny at just 0.081 square miles and is completely enclosed within ZIP 73069, which handles most of Norman's street delivery.

Delivery Infrastructure

The street-level data confirms the institutional character. Only two streets appear in the ZIP+4 records: W Gray Street and 36th Avenue NW. Both show unit-based delivery structures, which fits facilities that need organized internal mail distribution. There aren't traditional residential subdivisions here. The 273 street-route records and 377 PO Box records show a system built for institutional and business mail rather than home delivery.

Norman Context

Norman itself is a college town, home to the University of Oklahoma, but 73070 isn't the university ZIP. The median age here is 42.1, and the demographics don't match a student population. What the data shows is a specialized postal zone serving correctional and institutional needs in Cleveland County. The high PO Box count serves regional demand: 1,176 businesses maintain boxes here, and the facility handled 51 business establishments with 609 employees as of 2003 economic census data.

Street Name Patterns

Institutional Addressing Unit Based Delivery

Only two streets appear in the delivery records, both with unit-based addressing structures. This minimal street presence reflects the institutional nature of the ZIP, where mail distribution happens through organized internal systems rather than residential delivery routes.
