Wheatland sits in Oklahoma County, just southwest of Oklahoma City. It's a PO Box Only Zone, meaning there's no alternative to PO Box delivery in this area. The Wheatland post office maintains 215 PO Boxes for a community of just 93 occupied homes. That 2.3-to-1 ratio tells the story: this post office serves far more people than local headcount suggests.
Residents from surrounding rural areas and unincorporated land rely on this location for their mail. The 290 people who live within the ZCTA boundary account for only a fraction of the mailing addresses served here. Nearby neighborhoods include Embassy West, Hardy Acres, and Canadian Estates, but those communities may use different ZIP codes for carrier delivery while still relying on Wheatland for PO Box services.
The community has roots going back generations. Census data shows 45 of the 106 housing units were built before 1939, roughly 42% of all structures. This wasn't a suburb carved out of farmland last decade. S Main Street accounts for most of the postal records, with smaller streets like Pearl, Ellis, and McGee rounding out the grid. Despite the PO Box Only Zone designation, USPS does run some carrier routes through the area, including two city routes and one rural route.
Wheatland's demographics look typical for a small Oklahoma community. Median age is 36.7 years. Of the 290 residents, 201 are White, 59 identify as two or more races, and 26 are Hispanic. Everyone here was born in the United States. With 5 local businesses employing 23 people, this isn't a commercial hub. It's a quiet residential community where the post office functions as the primary connection to the outside world.
S Main Street dominates the postal records, with a handful of smaller residential streets forming a simple grid.
ZIP Code 73097 has 290 residents and 93 households (average 3.12 persons per household). The median age is 36.7 years, about the same as the state (37.3) and slightly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 61.4% male and 38.6% female, which is much higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (69.3%, much higher than the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (17.9%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 17.9%, which is higher than the state average (11.9%).
