Bartlesville city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Bartlesville city is a small city in Oklahoma, with 37,559 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #12 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 36.9 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 Bartlesville city earn a median of $59,457 a year, 24.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 11% above 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.

A household on the local median income would put about 18.3% 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 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 68.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners.
