Anadarko city, OK in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Anadarko city is a mid-size town in Oklahoma, with 5,627 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #70 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 35 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. Places under 65,000 residents only appear in the five-year release, never the one-year file, so these values pool sixty months of responses and lag the current year by design.
Households in Anadarko city earn a median of $43,668 a year, 44.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 18% below the $53,500 median for the 240 Oklahoma cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 27.5% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.
The typical owner-occupied home in Anadarko city is valued at $90,000, 70.3% below the national figure and 28% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $725 a month, 48.4% below the national figure, or roughly $8,700 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 52.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
