Lindsay city, OK in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Lindsay city is a small town in Oklahoma, with 2,852 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #120 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 85% of them. The median age here is 35.4 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 Lindsay city earn a median of $53,424 a year, 32% 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. Median household income counts every pre-tax dollar arriving at an address — wages, self-employment, Social Security, pensions, interest and public assistance — for everyone living there, so multi-earner households pull the figure up even where individual pay is modest. Poverty reaches 11.3% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Lindsay city is valued at $106,800, 64.8% below the national figure and 15% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $770 a month, 45.2% below the national figure, or roughly $9,240 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.3% 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×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 57.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans more heavily on renters. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
