McCurtain, OK population, income and ZIP codes

McCurtain town is a very small community in Oklahoma, with 415 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #408 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 51% of them. The median age here is 39.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older 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 McCurtain town earn a median of $19,375 a year, 75.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 64% 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 46.3% 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 McCurtain town is valued at $45,900, 84.9% below the national figure and 64% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $588 a month, 58.2% below the national figure, or roughly $7,056 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 36.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is a stretch on median earnings. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, 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. 88% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. 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.

McCurtain town is the unusual combination of expensive to rent and cheap to buy: rent takes 36.4% of median income while homes cost only 2.4× it. Where that pattern shows up, the gap is normally down to down-payment and credit barriers rather than price. With 415 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare McCurtain town against its county rather than against national figures.

Every value on this page is published directly by the Census for this area — nothing is modelled or interpolated. 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.
