Garvin town, OK in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Garvin town is a very small community in Oklahoma, with 148 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #603 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 28% of them. The median age here is 37 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Garvin town earn a median of $51,875 a year, 33.9% below the national figure of $78,538 and 3% below 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 12.2% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Garvin town is valued at $98,800, 67.4% below the national figure and 21% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $763 a month, 45.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,156 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.7% 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 1.9×, 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. 63.9% 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.
