Where the building is

The site is on the north side of East Memorial Road, on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University. Its mail goes to Edmond and its neighbors' children attend Edmond schools, but the address lies inside the city limits of Oklahoma City, in Oklahoma County. A guide to this address has to hold all three facts at once.

East Memorial Road runs along the south edge of the site. North Bryant Avenue is 0.5 miles east and North Eastern Avenue is 0.5 miles west. The John Kilpatrick Turnpike passes 0.5 miles to the south, which is about where the school district line falls. Broadway Extension is 1.4 miles west, and I-35 is 2.2 miles east.

3 districts within 3 miles

The site is inside Edmond Public Schools. Edmond enrolls 25,746 students and is up 9% since 2014. 89% of the people within 3 miles live inside its lines, so for most families near this address, Edmond is simply the school district.

Oklahoma City Public Schools begins 0.5 miles south. It is the larger district, with 32,750 students, and it is down 20% over the same years. 8% of the people within 3 miles live on that side of the line.

Oakdale Public School begins 1.1 miles southeast. It is one school for grades PK to 8, with 687 students, and 3% of the people within 3 miles live inside it.

Millwood and Jones also come within 5 miles. Almost none of their residents live inside the 3 mile ring, so they matter only for families who drive in.

Three schools, already decided by the address

A child who lives at this address is zoned for Orvis Risner Elementary School, then Cimarron Middle School, then Memorial High School. Edmond's boundary maps for this school year draw all three zones around this block, and each school feeds the next. They enroll 551, 833, and 2,770 students.

Memorial also gathers students from across a district line. Oakdale stops after eighth grade, and Edmond's high school map sends Oakdale students in grades 9 to 12 to Memorial. One high school holds teenagers from both districts.

Schools inside the same district can serve very different families. At Orvis Risner Elementary School, 1.3 miles north, 65% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. At Chisholm Elementary School, 1.4 miles northeast and one zone over, the figure is 21%.

5 public high schools sit within 5 miles, so a group of teenagers drawn from this whole area will not share one campus.

The line between Orvis Risner and Chisholm Elementary runs a short distance east and north of the site. Homes on the far side of it are zoned for Chisholm, which also feeds Cimarron and Memorial.

Who lives within 3 miles

About 42,800 people live within 3 miles of the site, give or take 1,650. About 7,770 of them are ages 5 to 17. That is 18% of everyone here, which is about the same share as the county as a whole.

The households here earn more and have more schooling than the county's. Median household income is about $84,700, against $67,100 for Oklahoma County. 54% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or more, against 36% countywide. The poverty rate is 10%, which is lower than the county's 16%.

One figure deserves a second look. 26% of the students in kindergarten through grade 12 near this address attend a private school or are homeschooled, against 15% across the county. A ministry calendar built only around the public school week will not reach them.

The ring closest to the site is shaped by the university. Within 1.5 miles, 15% of residents are ages 18 to 24, against 11% across the full ring.

The average describes no one direction

Most of the people near this address live to the north. About 20,300 people live in the northern quarter of the ring, more than in any other direction.

East is a different neighborhood. Median household income there is about $140,900, 88% of homes are owner occupied, and the poverty rate is 5%. To the west, median household income is about $79,200 and 50% of homes are owner occupied.

South is thinly settled. About 2,250 people live between the site and the edge of the ring in that direction, and 12% of them are ages 5 to 17. The turnpike and the district line are both on that side.

North covers everything from northwest around to northeast, and so on around the compass. A quarter of a ring holds fewer people, so its margins are wider.

What the data suggests

  • Plan around Edmond schools first. 89% of the people within 3 miles live in the Edmond district, so its calendar sets the week for most families near you.
  • Start with the three zoned schools. Orvis Risner Elementary School, Cimarron Middle School, and Memorial High School are where the families nearest you send their children. A relationship that begins at Orvis Risner can follow the same children all the way through high school.
  • Do not build for one kind of household. Median household income is about $140,900 to the east and about $79,200 to the west. A program priced or scheduled for one side will miss the other.
  • Count the students who are not in a public school. 26% of nearby students attend a private school or are homeschooled. Ask how each family schools its children before you set a calendar.
  • Treat the campus as a neighbor. 15% of the residents within 1.5 miles are ages 18 to 24. A plan written only for families with children will overlook them.
  • Face north. About 20,300 people live to the north and about 2,250 to the south. Signs, invitations, and events for the neighborhood should point toward where the neighbors are.
  • Walk the church list before you start something new. The map shows 10 churches within 1.5 miles. Find out what each already does for children and students, and look for the gap.

How this guide was built, and where to be careful

Sources

  • People, households, income, and housing: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey five-year estimates, served by Census Reporter, 2020 to 2024, by census tract.
  • How each tract is split by a ring: 2020 Census counts for every census block, from the Census Bureau.
  • School district lines: the Census Bureau's current school district boundary files.
  • Public schools and district enrollment: the National Center for Education Statistics Common Core of Data, 2024-25. District figures for earlier years come through the Urban Institute's Education Data Portal.
  • Private schools: the National Center for Education Statistics Private School Universe Survey, 2023-24.
  • Roads, parks, neighborhoods, and churches: OpenStreetMap contributors, read November 11, 2026.
  • Zoned schools for the site: Edmond Public Schools attendance boundary maps and school locator, for the 2026-27 school year.

Where to be careful

  • Figures for one direction rest on fewer households than figures for the whole ring. Compare directions by their large differences, and do not lean on a gap of a few points.
  • The child poverty rates for single directions are soft, so this guide does not quote them in its text.
  • The 2020 Census decides how each tract is split by a ring. Homes built since then are counted in the survey totals but may be placed slightly off between rings.
  • The church list repeats one congregation and gives no tradition for several. It comes from a volunteer map and has not been walked.
  • Every population figure is a survey estimate. A margin of error comes with each one, and it grows as the area shrinks.
  • A ring cuts through census tracts. Each tract's figures are scaled by the share of its 2020 residents who live inside the ring.
  • Median income and median age are worked out from the survey's brackets, so they are close and not exact.
  • Distances are straight lines from the site. Driving distance is longer.
  • The guide does not say where any one family's children attend school. Check an address with the district.

Checks this guide passed

  • Every census tract in the study area has survey estimates.
  • Our county population is 806,199 and the published figure is 806,199, a gap of 0.0 percent.
  • Our county median household income is 67,059 and the published figure is 66,679, a gap of 0.6 percent.
  • Our county median age is 35.3 and the published figure is 35.2, a gap of 0.3 percent.
  • The survey puts 42,814 people in the core ring. The 2020 census counted 43,261 there, a ratio of 0.99.
  • The site sits inside Edmond Public Schools.
