The ZIP covers only 0.05 square miles, making it one of Oklahoma's most compact postal zones. Yet the post office serves customers from across Okmulgee County's rural landscape. The 123 residents live in a tight cluster along four streets: Polk Avenue holds most delivery points, followed by Pierce Avenue, Highway 75, and Pringey Avenue. Two rural carrier routes (RR1 and RR2) extend beyond these boundaries, connecting isolated properties to the post office.
Housing stock here reflects Oklahoma's rural economic reality. The median home value sits at $102,100, below state averages but stable for small communities. With 60 occupied housing units and 12 vacant ones, the vacancy rate of 17% suggests some seasonal or transitional properties. The median household income of $51,000 supports working families rather than retirees or vacation homeowners. The median age of 45.9 years shows a balanced population without heavy skew toward college students or seniors.
Preston's postal function outlasts its population size. The post office handles mail for 12 local businesses and serves as the official address for dozens of families who live on rural routes miles away. That's why the PO Box count exceeds local housing by more than double. When carrier delivery isn't available, the post office becomes the connection point. For this corner of Okmulgee County, Preston's 74456 ZIP provides that service.
Preston's street names follow the classic American small-town pattern of presidential surnames (Polk, Pierce) mixed with main highway access. The concentration of delivery points on Polk Avenue shows where the community's residential core sits, while Highway 75 provides the regional connection.
ZIP Code 74456 has 123 residents and 60 households (average 2.05 persons per household). The median age is 45.9 years, significantly older than the state (37.3) and significantly older than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 51.2% male and 48.8% female, which is slightly higher than the national male share (49.1%), making this a male-majority area. Largest groups are White (53.7%, much lower than the state average of 63.5% and well below the national average of 61.6%) and American Indian & Alaska Native (20.3%, much higher than the state average of 8.4% and well above the national average of 1.1%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 4.1%, 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%).
