Newkirk city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Newkirk city is a small town in Oklahoma, with 2,024 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #144 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 36.7 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 Newkirk city earn a median of $53,125 a year, 32.4% 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. 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 13.6% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Newkirk city is valued at $99,000, 67.4% below the national figure and 21% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $613 a month, 56.4% below the national figure, or roughly $7,356 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.8% 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 1.9×, 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. 70.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. 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.
