Choctaw city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Choctaw city is a mid-size town in Oklahoma, with 12,208 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #38 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 38.1 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 Choctaw city earn a median of $96,446 a year, 22.8% above the national figure of $78,538 and 80% 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. Poverty reaches 6.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Choctaw city is valued at $223,900, 26.2% below the national figure and 78% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,192 a month, 15.2% below the national figure, or roughly $14,304 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.8% 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 2.3×, 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. 89.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
