Pawnee city, OK in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Pawnee city is a small town in Oklahoma, with 1,887 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #153 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 82% of them. The median age here is 37 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 Pawnee city earn a median of $42,148 a year, 46.3% below the national figure of $78,538 and 21% below 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 14.5% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pawnee city is valued at $97,000, 68% below the national figure and 23% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $794 a month, 43.5% below the national figure, or roughly $9,528 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 22.6% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is within the standard affordability guideline. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.3×, 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. 66% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.
