Guymon city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Guymon city is a mid-size town in Oklahoma, with 12,596 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #36 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 95% of them. The median age here is 30.9 years against 39.1 nationally, a distinctly younger profile, typical of places with students, military posts or a fast-growing family population. 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 Guymon city earn a median of $57,051 a year, 27.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 7% 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 21.3% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Guymon city is valued at $171,800, 43.4% below the national figure and 37% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $981 a month, 30.2% below the national figure, or roughly $11,772 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.6% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 65.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
