Enid city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Enid city is a small city in Oklahoma, with 50,821 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #9 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 99% of them. The median age here is 34.7 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 Enid city earn a median of $63,472 a year, 19.2% below the national figure of $78,538 and 19% above the $53,500 median for the 240 Oklahoma cities we cover. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 14.1% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Enid city is valued at $143,500, 52.7% below the national figure and 14% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $906 a month, 35.6% below the national figure, or roughly $10,872 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.1% 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. 59.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
