Oklahoma City city, OK in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Oklahoma City city is a major city in Oklahoma, with 688,693 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it first of 846 ranked by population. The median age here is 35 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this size the Census also publishes one-year estimates; the five-year values used here are steadier and let you compare against smaller neighbours on the same basis.
Households in Oklahoma City city earn a median of $66,702 a year, 15.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 25% 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 15.2% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Oklahoma City city is valued at $215,100, 29.1% below the national figure and 71% above the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,083 a month, 23% below the national figure, or roughly $12,996 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 19.5% 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 3.2×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 59.1% 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.
