How does Edmond compare to other US cities?

Where Edmond sits among all US cities (population 1,000+) on each measure, computed live from Census and FBI data.

Household income 79% higher than other cities
Home value 69% pricier than other cities
Median rent 40% pricier than other cities
Safety 45% safer than other cities

"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.

A national percentile can hide a lot of local variation: narrowed to Oklahoma alone, Edmond ranks #99 of 203 Oklahoma cities by lowest crime rate - a different, more locally useful comparison than stacking it against the entire country.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Edmond against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Oklahoma only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.

Oklahoma-relative analysis

Median Home Value is Edmond's strongest outlier among Oklahoma cities

Among the 628 Oklahoma cities PlainCities tracks with reported median home value data, Edmond ranks #7 - the 99th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares Edmond only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
