Hitchita is a small McIntosh County community of 399 residents served exclusively through PO Box delivery. The post office maintains 55 boxes for 148 households, giving this ZIP an adoption rate of 37%. That's lower than typical for rural Oklahoma, where many residents receive mail through rural carrier routes rather than boxes.
Two rural carrier routes (Route R) provide street delivery to scattered homes across 21 square miles of rolling terrain near the Canadian River. Broadway Street, S 4070 Road, and Hickory Street anchor what limited street infrastructure exists here. The median household income is $36,944, and the median home value sits at $97,500. About 31% of workers are employed in educational services, healthcare, and social assistance.
The three streets with postal records show minimal urban infrastructure. Broadway Street has the most delivery points with 2 records, while S 4070 Road uses the numbered rural road system common in Oklahoma. The limited street count reflects a dispersed settlement pattern where most residents live on unnamed roads served by rural carriers.
ZIP Code 74438 has 399 residents and 148 households (average 2.70 persons per household). The median age is 44.7 years, significantly older than the state (37.3) and older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 53.1% male and 46.9% female, which is higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (65.9%, higher than the national average of 61.6%) and American Indian & Alaska Native (18.5%, much higher than the state average of 8.4% and well above the national average of 1.1%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 2.0%, which is much lower than the national average (18.7%), and American Indian & Alaska Native share is much higher than both the state (8.4%) and national averages (1.1%).
