Hugo city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Hugo city is a mid-size town in Oklahoma, with 5,184 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #74 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 91% of them. The median age here is 33.6 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 Hugo city earn a median of $31,694 a year, 59.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 41% below 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 32% 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 Hugo city is valued at $96,100, 68.3% below the national figure and 24% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $634 a month, 54.9% below the national figure, or roughly $7,608 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 24% 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. 42.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, a renter-majority market, so rent figures matter more here than the home-value line. 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.
