Pittsburg, OK population, income and ZIP codes

Pittsburg town is a very small community in Oklahoma, with 126 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #636 of 846 ranked by population — larger than 24% of them. The median age here is 48 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. 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 Pittsburg town earn a median of $31,875 a year, 59.4% below the national figure of $78,538 and 40% below 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 13.7% of residents here, above the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in Pittsburg town is valued at $70,000, 76.9% below the national figure and 44% below the $125,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $542 a month, 61.5% below the national figure, or roughly $6,504 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 20.4% 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 2.2×, 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. 79.2% 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.

With 126 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Pittsburg 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.
