Question 4

Is 73055 a good place to live?

Accepted Answer

ZIP code 73055 has an overall NeighborScore of 50/100, which is below average for the Bray metro. The score weights crime (40%), schools (35%), and relative property value (25%). A score below 60 typically reflects above-average crime rates, below-average school proficiency, or both — though the property value component may show strong relative value (more home per dollar). Reviewing the component scores and the Full Reports for crime, schools, and real estate separately will give a clearer picture than the composite alone.
