Goldsby town, OK in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Goldsby town is a small town in Oklahoma, with 2,902 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #116 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 86% of them. The median age here is 40.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 Goldsby town earn a median of $96,650 a year, 23.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 81% above the $53,500 median for the 240 Oklahoma cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Goldsby town is valued at $374,400, 23.4% above the national figure and 198% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $2,131 a month, 51.6% above the national figure, or roughly $25,572 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 26.5% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 3.9×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 87.4% 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. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.
Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
