Okarche, OK population, income and ZIP codes

Okarche town is a small town in Oklahoma, with 1,270 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #201 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 76% of them. The median age here is 40.2 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 Okarche town earn a median of $87,250 a year, 11.1% above the national figure of $78,538 and 63% above 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 14.4% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Okarche town is valued at $232,300, 23.4% below the national figure and 85% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $777 a month, 44.7% below the national figure, or roughly $9,324 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 10.7% 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. 82.7% 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. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

Median income runs above the national figure while poverty also runs above it — a split distribution, not a uniformly comfortable place. Averages hide that; the two numbers together do not.

No figure on this page is estimated by us; each one comes straight from the published ACS tables for this area. 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.
