Hennessey town, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hennessey town is a small town in Oklahoma, with 2,603 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #133 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 84% of them. The median age here is 33.7 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 Hennessey town earn a median of $54,185 a year, 31% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of 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 15% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Hennessey town is valued at $165,900, 45.3% below the national figure and 32% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $907 a month, 35.5% below the national figure, or roughly $10,884 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.1% 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 3.1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 64% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. 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.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
