Reading the Yukon data for water damage
Yukon is one of the fastest-growing Oklahoma City–metro suburbs tracked here: 27,615 people (2025 estimate), up 16.8% since 2020[3]. The city spans 26.5 square miles at 1,041 residents per square mile (the 7th densest) and sits entirely in Canadian County, served by ZIP code 73099[4].
Yukon mixes 12% of homes built since 2010 and 53% before 1980[2]: new supply lines and water heaters in one house, aging pipe and original valves in the next — so where a leak starts depends a lot on the address.
73099 is the city's single ZIP code[7].
The tracked suburbs closest by are Bethany (7.0 mi E), Mustang (9.0 mi S) and Piedmont (10.8 mi N)[4].
77 flood-insurance claims have come from Yukon-area ZIP codes (73099) since 1978, and $1,018,150 has been paid on them (about $17,554 per paid claim)[1]. 2007 was the worst year, with 14 claims. That is the 6th-fewest of the 14 Oklahoma City–area suburbs we cover; for comparison, Bethany (12), Mustang (15), and Piedmont (5). Of the 70 claims rated in a flood zone, 40 were in FEMA's high-risk areas (zones A or V) and 29 outside them (zones B, C or X), with 1 in undetermined zone D[1][8] — flooding here is not only a high-risk-zone problem.
