Jenks city, OK in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Jenks city is a small city in Oklahoma, with 26,519 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #16 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 98% of them. The median age here is 34.5 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 Jenks city earn a median of $104,970 a year, 33.7% above the national figure of $78,538 and 96% 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 6.6% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Jenks city is valued at $285,600, 5.9% below the national figure and 127% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,555 a month, 10.6% above the national figure, or roughly $18,660 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.8% 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 2.7×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 78.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
